NOT MINDING WHAT HAPPENS:

[Pravin Kumar]

Not Minding What Happens:

Don’t mind what happens and a story won’t be generated. If you do mind, your energy will be transferred to whatever it is that's wanted different and hence an attached story will be created.

The stories that are created you become, and it takes you on a ride base on whatever energy is used to create it. All stories are generated from something that happened in the past. There's the story of your favorite team or the story of work. There’s the family story and the story of just wanting things different. Regardless the stories shapes your life because of attachment, not because of what happens. These attached stories are where emotions arise from, they're where fear, discontent, and anger form and gain their power. This is what attachment does, it takes the power away from you and hands it over to the attachment. Without attachment how things affect you lessens.

Throughout the day if there's not awareness to remain present, the story begins and your power gets transferred to attachment. It doesn't matter what the story is, that you have transferred your power to an outside source is what matters. As spring approaches you may not be able to get rid of all the weeds on your lawn, but if you learn to not mind them, they won't be a problem. Basically what has to be done in order not to create stories is, not mind what happens. If you want things to be different, your power will be transferred to whatever it is that's wanted different; this attachment becomes the controlling energy of your life. Watch your stories, don't mind what happens and even though you may have a lawn full of weeds, if there isn’t attachment it won't matter all that much.
