Detach from outside

At one side we say that life is illusion. And at the same time we get involved in our surrounding so deeply that we feel ourselves as a part of that surrounding itself. It’s like being aware of the fact while watching a movie in a theatre or a drama that whatever is happening in screen is not real and that those events can’t affect us at all. But many times we get attached with the happenings in the screen so much that we feel ourselves being a part of it. And the goodness or badness of the events, as per our perception, affects us directly as if we actually are facing those situations. But such awareness is necessary to get entertained by the movie. In a similar fashion, we need to be aware of the happenings of our life too as to not get attached with the surroundings which might affect us. The point is to learn keeping ourselves separate from the happenings around with a feeling of being part of the vast and eternal universe, and the outside matters should not be a cause of turbulence in our inner peace. Keeping our consciousness detached from ourselves and outside is the key to happiness. Life indeed is beautiful.
