"Let go of what has passed. Let go of what may come. Let go of what is happening now. Don't try to figure anything out. Don't try to make anything happen. Relax right now and rest."
-Tilopa, in The Six Words of Advice.

Lama Dawa's Commentary:
Tilopa was a great, great Yogi master in the Buddhist Tantric tradition many, many centuries ago in ancient Buddhist India.

What Tilopa is talking about here is very profound and radical.

He is saying that all the entanglements of our mind, thinking about the past, thinking about the future, or thinking even about the present, are all things that keep us caught up and trapped in hope and fear and in doubt.

And that true freedom is simply letting go.

Things can still happen.

Thoughts will still arise in our mind, but letting go, profoundly letting go, not attaching, not having biases and hopes and judgments and opinions.

This is the path to freedom and even awakening.

Now, let's not be naive.

No one is saying this is simple or easy, but practicing this is the spiritual journey, and this is our opportunity to practice this profound letting go.
