Eloquence Of Silence

Emptiness is fullness and fullness is emptiness. In order to learn new ideas the mind has to let go of old worn out ideas. We have a tendency to hold on to old ideas and that prevents us from creating new ideas. In order to move on we need to let go and not get stuck with old ideas and we need to let go of the old worn out ideas. That's the way to move on in our life. Innovative ideas are born when we let go of the old worn out growth blocking ideas. My father taught me how to quiet and empty my mind to listen to new ideas. He taught me how let go of the distractions and be fully present with me and with others. Building wholsome and new connections with oneself and with others also requires letting go of holding on to the old and worn out ideas. Old habits are hard to break. In order to cultivate new habits we need to cultivate courage to let go of the old habits. Mindfulness of such bondages has helped me to liberate myself from the grip of the bondages. May we all be liberated from the self-created bondages. Namaste. Jagdish P Dave
