We lose our thoughts in these things in an attempt to feel secure. The moment we identify with anything, we become afraid of losing it. It presents you with a wonderful opportunity to find lasting values in self-liberty. By ceasing to place our trust in anything outside our True Self, we cannot possibly be afraid of anything. This is the secret behind the mystical teaching that the man who has nothing has everything.
Marvelous rewards come to the non-attached man or woman.
The boss may still be a tyrant, but no longer has the power to bother you. An irritating relative may be just as unbearable, but you are free of him. You, in your new role of detached observer, are aware of everything but affected by nothing. He defines the dynamics of achieving freedom as a return to a innocence. Do not be afraid of your emptiness.
