06.Wellbeing - Letting go

Swamiji employs the example of matchsticks to portray the Vedantic perspective that solutions to challenges often exist in a higher dimension. He links this insight to Spiritual Intelligence (SI), known as Buddhi in Sanskrit. This viewpoint underscores the importance of not only detaching physically, but also mentally, from lower-level thinking and limited perspectives. By letting go mentally, we free ourselves from the constraints of superficial concerns and open up to a deeper wellspring of wisdom. This allows us to approach challenges with greater clarity, insight, and a broader understanding of the higher truths that can guide us towards resolution.Swami Tadananda is the resident Swami at the RamakrishnaVedanta Centre in Auckland, NZ.
