Suffering can arise due to unnecessary desires and attachments in the constantly changing impermanent play of life.

The way you live and act in the impermanent constantly changing life and the world can give rise to attachment and suffering. Hence, you should acknowledge impermanence and live in such a way that you do not get attached.

Without attachment there is no association and identification with known or unknown. Without association or identification there is no Self. Without Self, you are flexible and harmonious like formless water.

Without attachments and desires you are selfless, like the formless flowing water, neither grasping, nor getting attached but constantly adapting itself harmoniously with the change.

Attached, you are selective, partial, arbitrary and take everything personally. Detached, you are impartial, disinterested and impersonal.

Impermanence Reigns Supreme

Everything known, unknown or beyond are impermanent phenomena arising due to constituent cause and conditions, which ultimately change, disintegrate, disperse and gets recycled.

The idea of “God” or “The supreme power that create, control or judge after life” is also irrelevant, because you are also an impermanent spiritual phenomenon of knowing. Change and impermanence are ultimately supreme eternal laws.

Since you are impermanent and everything known and unknown is impermanent on account of it’s changing constituent cause and conditions, there is no point in getting attached to anything or any ideas or beliefs.

Non-attachment is harmonious with the supreme law of impermanence in the greater scheme of life, whereas attachment in the petty schemes of life is against the supreme law of impermanence.

Hence attachment brings suffering whereas non-attachment avoids suffering.

Happiness In Nonattachment

Enjoy your life sustainably in the present by living in such a way that you do not get attached.

Since you and everything known, unknown or beyond is impermanent, there should neither be fear of personal loss nor jealousy towards success of others. Everything good and bad that you and others has will be eventually lost.

Life is impermanent and so it is to be enjoyed sustainably in the present without regrets; however, nothing is worth regretting in the one and only ephemeral life.

Living without attachment, you will neither be saddened by loss nor fear loss. Without attachment, you will accept change and move on with the great natural flow of life.

Nonattachment Through Meditation

Nonattachment is one of the many benefits of meditation. In meditation, through focused attention, you dissociate from known and unknown to get detached. Without the stress of association or identification with known or unknown, you are selfless.

Meditation relieves the subliminal stress of association with the known or unknown to make you aware and detached, knowing everything correctly in the right context as it is without self.

Through meditation you find your natural feeling of peace, fulfillment and you reconnect to your naturally rich innocence as if you were never corrupted by the hustle and bustle of society.

Through meditation you detach and become whole.

Ideas are psychological point of views in some context. Ideas represent possibilities in reality or imaginations. Due to their creative imagination, humans are capable of understanding greater and lesser contexts, think for themselves and come up with ideas.

Ideas are not tricks or hacks, but tricks and hacks can arise from the idea of making life easy or difficult. Institutions, systems, structures, processes, cultures constituting the society are based on some ideas with some motives.

Ideas constitute philosophy. For example, philosophy of stoicism is based on ideas of minimalism, courage, justice, virtue. Philosophy of Taoism is based on natural richness, balance & equilibrium, being like water etc.. Philosophy of Islam is based on idea of surrender to sublime peace. Philosophy of Buddhism is based on ideas of impermanence, no-self, emptiness, conditional arising, collective karma, end of suffering etc.

Ideas can be universal or narrow, good or bad, right or wrong, true or false, real or unreal, advantageous or disadvantageous etc. Some ideas can be materialized to represent reality, for example scientific ideas. Some ideas are false and do not represent reality, for example idea of independent eternal spirit or self and supreme creator.

True ideas can be materialized, proven, validated, verified, demonstrated, applied or at least known personally. Some ideas can be invented and turned into reality in form of technology, for example, ideas of currency representing valuables or idea of artificial wings in order to fly. Ideas can get misused due to wrong motives and methods behind their implementation.

Under the umbrella of ideas, thoughts and philosophies manifest the principles, policies, institutions, laws, rules, regulations, strategies, forms, practices, culture, customs, etc. For example, idea of right to privacy implemented through policies like HIPAA and upheld through laws and judiciary. This gives rise to a culture based on respecting others privacy. Thoughts and Ideas lie at the root of the human world.

Ideas that you behold knowingly or unknowingly affect your attitude, your mindset, your actions and the effect of your actions. Narrow rigid ideas bring mental slavery. Universal ideas broaden mind whereas freedom from all kinds of ideas bring psychological maturity.

Ideally, ideas should be universally true or real, manifestable, applicable, demonstrable, beneficial, evident or at least a personal experience, knowledge and understanding. Blind belief and faith in ideas can mislead you. Ideas should be livable rather than believable.

Beliefs in wrong ideas can manifest knowingly or unknowingly in form or wrong attitudes, mindsets, actions, forms, practices, cultures, customs etc. Early life beliefs can have hypnotic effect on individuals making them psychologically immature and credulous.

It is also necessary to understand which ideas are important for reaching objectives, meeting goals and nurturing values. Objectives are motives, intensions or reasons behind goals. Ideally, objective answers the question why and objectives should be ethical or noble.

Goals, representing needs and desires, should be SMART, i.e. specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time bound. Value system represents what is of value or importance and in what order or priority.

When you know what to value, you will know which ideas and their manifestations are important and in which order of priority. For example, for some the idea of life is more valuable than the idea of freedom and justice; but for some, the idea of freedom and justice are more valuable than the idea of life. Hence some societies will invest more in life science and healthcare while some will invest more in law, order and judiciary.

To know and understand manifestation of ideas correctly in the right context, it is necessary to have a seamless clarity of detached awareness, the phenomenon of knowing correctly in the right context as it is without associating or identifying with known or unknown.

Without associating or identifying with known and unknown, you are detached, self-aware without the Self and you can understand ideas more impersonally in greater or smaller context.

Based on right thoughts, ideas and philosophies, the long haul of life and actions can mature in the right direction and get fulfilled meaningfully. Matured and meaningfully fulfilled life can outgrow to bloom into healthy detachment.

How to Manifest Ideas

For anything to manifest you need right cause and conditions. For example, to manifest full moon in water, there has to be night, clear calm water and full moon in the sky.

To manifest idea dear to your heart, define it clearly and write it down or symbolize it. Writing down or symbolizing the idea realizes it in form of a seed and defining the idea can bring clarity to your understanding of the idea.

Think and understand why you want the idea to manifest. Create list of goals and objectives that will create conditions for the idea to manifest. When there are right conditions, that means the manifestation is in alignment with the greater scheme of life.

When the conditions are right you can do what is happening and manifest the idea through actionless action or by acting without striving.

Do not get attached to the manifestation of ideas because nothing stays forever and everything is subject to change and impermanence.
