Nischala tatwe jeevanmukthiH

In spite of all my pretensions to the contrary, I was anxious about the reactions and responses to my posts here.

However, no more am I so

Now I am dragging myself from a position of utter reluctance even to post a small write-up in the morning.

No expectations no quid pro quo likes.

Not much of a visit more than once.

A feeling of withdrawal and detachment.

Even such morning write-ups would stop.

From silence we start life with loud inarticulate wails.

We become more clear and demanding

We grab

We discover assertions and demands are futile

We discover that what we fought and gained are of little use

We get satiated

Nothing is attractive any more

We float on habits.

Finally, we sink; disappear into oblivion-Into silence.

Songs of the cuckoos or croaks of the frogs all mean the same in the end.

Detachment alone can lead to peaceful withdrawal.
