Life is an eternal letting go

Only when the stomach is empty can food be truly savored.
Only when the heart is open can love find its dwelling place.
Only when the cup is emptied can it be filled.
Only when the mind is still can truth be heard.
Only when you let go of who you think you are, can you awaken to who you truly are.

Emptiness is not absence, but sacred space—
the silence where love, wisdom, and presence take root.
To empty yourself is to become open,
to open is to become free,
and to be free is to finally be.

We entered this world carrying nothing, and we will leave carrying nothing. Life is a passage, a breath between arrival and departure. Yet along the way we weave countless attachments, possessions we cling to as if they could last forever, relationships we grasp as if they could complete us, distractions that numb, busyness that consumes, and masks we wear to convince both ourselves and others of who we think we are.

But the truth whispers softly: these things are not you.

Let go of the weight of accumulation.
Let go of the endless need to be busy, to prove, to achieve.
Let go of the judgments that divide you from yourself and from others.
Let go of the comparisons that tie your worth to the shifting winds of opinion.
And most of all, let go of the image of who you believe you must be.

For emptiness is not loss, it is freedom. When the vessel is emptied, it becomes ready to receive. In the quiet spaciousness of emptiness, the soul breathes again. The stillness is not barren; it is alive, fertile, and luminous.

It is only when you release everything that is not you, every false identity, every fear, every mask, that you can awaken to what has always been there: pure presence, pure awareness, pure being.

And in that clarity, you come to see that you are not the possessions you own, nor the stories you tell, nor the judgments you fear. You are the vastness in which all things arise and pass away. You are the silence between thoughts, the light within the heart, the timeless witness to the dance of life.

When you dare to be empty, you discover that you are already full, full of truth, of freedom, of love unconditioned. This is the secret of awakening: to let go, so that you may finally come home to yourself.

WHAT I CAN AND CANNOT DO

During this period of the COVID-19 like in any other period of our lives, one of the greatest sources of our suffering is our need to “control” everything. We do not “accept” things as they are but want them to be as we want. Consciously, but most of the time unconsciously, we do not accept what is happening around us and want it to be the way we want. For instance, when we say or think: “it is raining again” or “it’s too hot”, we are not accepting unconsciously what it is but want the day to be a nice day, whatever a nice day means for you. We do the same with people, things, locations, etc.; and we do it all the time, for everything, and do not even realize we are doing it. This is why life is so hard.  Just for the simple fact that we are trying to control everything and we do not even know that we are doing it. What most of us do not realize is that everything we are experiencing is happening inside of us, and not outside. All the stimulus from our sensorial organs and ev...
