Letting go to live

There was this man who went along with a group to climb the Everest. An avalanche separated him from the group and he was left alone in between from where he had to dissent to reach to safety. At that moment he said “Oh God, help me” and as a miracle he saw a rope which he could use and started to climb down using the rope. He was so afraid that he didn’t want to see down at all. 

It was getting dark and at one stage he couldn’t see anything and again he shouted “Oh God, help me”. Then a voice said “My son, leave the rope and you’ll be safe”. But the man said “The rope is the only thing that’s saving me now. I’ll fall and die if I leave the rope”. Then God said “Trust me son, leave the rope and you’ll be safe”. But the man didn’t listen and he kept holding on to the rope the whole night and died on the rope due to the extreme cold condition. In the morning when seen, the distance between him and the ground was 2 feet. He just had to trust. 

This is how we too live without trust, not letting go. Holding on to the beliefs that we thing are right, holding on to the house that we are emotionally attached to, holding on to how right we are, holding on to money, holding on to wanting success, holding on to so many things that we don’t need at all and if let gone, will make us lighter and free. How long do you want to hold on to that and die?  Let go. 

A light morning 😊
