"When you are strong, be compassionate. When you are weak, be fearless. In both cases, abandoned attachment and clinging."
-Milarepa

Lama Dawa's Commentary:
Milarepa was a great Yogi in the Tibetan tradition.

He spent many, many years alone in the mountains doing deep meditation practices.

He awakened himself through his efforts and through his diligence, and to this day is a great inspiration to people everywhere.

In this teaching, Milarepa is telling us that strength is something that we can actually use as a gift to offer to others through compassion, and he's also telling us and reminding us that if we are in fear, where we feel vulnerable or weak, we can still open our hearts and be aware, mindful and honest with ourselves and with the situation.

He's summing this up by saying in any case, abandon attachment and clinging.

This is a very profound pointing out, to let go of attachment and clinging means to let go of outcomes.

We live our lives in a way that is free from expectations, which opens us up to many more possibilities.
