I just came across a very interesting discussion on whether non - living things feel anything when the owner leaves it or has to give it off or loses it...
While some may view this as ridiculously meaningless, every opinion exhibits a perspective and hence must be respected...
If a thought leads to further thinking and introspection it is worth spending a few moments on...
Well everything in this world is made up of vibrations...
Along with living beings, every single inanimate object, air specks, cells, nano particles right up to subatomic existence has shown to vibrate at a certain frequency...
However as we know Living world exhibits feelings whereas non living objects or materials do not exhibit feelings however...they do vibrate...
The order of life wherein evolution starts or is believed to take place on earth plane is by reincarnating in different lifetimes....
We are born, most of us are lucky to have a care giving environment where we are nurtured and loved as babies.
In this journey...
We learn how to fix our vision, hold our head, then flip over and hold ourselves on our fours...
We crawl, sit, stand, learn to walk , run, climb, jump , take up physical challenges...
We start talking... Our vocabulary increases...
We find a medium of expression....
First we are fed, dressed, bathed, our rear is wiped, we are cradled to sleep, we are cuddled , swaddled and lullabies are sung for us...
We learn to get independent slowly doing things on our own...
We find happiness in doing it and our parents feel proud of us...
We begin schooling learn to read , write, take up a sport, learn an art form, participate in competitions, win some lose some...
Our medium of expression widens...
We appear for exams, pass fail...
We still keep learning in either cases....
We make friends and we have our caregivers as well...
We have our parents and we have our acquaintances as well...
We go on to pass school enter colleges graduate postgraduate, some of us take up a few more courses and turn into professionals
As youngsters we have undergone fabulous years of college life , best friends , maybe staunch foes (for a few of us) our competitors our buddies our classmates our Girlfriends / boyfriends our crushes our first love's our final love's (as we choose to believe)
We come on to the real world off the dreams...
We secure a job... We work... We start paying our bills...
We find another means of expression , yes money....
We buy things we buy services we buy manpower we buy property we buy gifts we donate we save
We feel a sense of responsibility, power as well as a sense of satisfaction in doing so...
By then we may have found our soulmate or our parents may have found a suitable match for us...
We get married, start a family, procreate have kids, become parents...
We find joy in raising them just like our parents...
We also feel good about taking care of our parents as they get old....
A few of us have already experienced the death of a close friend, a kid , a partner or a pet....
In the mean while a few of us lose their grandparents....
In our kids teens we may have lost a few of our uncles aunts or many acquaintances...
Many of us may have gone through painful separation , rifts between parents or siblings , estrangements or breakups....
By the time we become grandparents , many of us may have lost our parents....
By that time, we may have been duped, robbed, cheated on or may have suffered huge financial losses...
We may have given in or may have come out....
Then in a few years we or our spouse have to leave this physical body...
The minute one is dead he or she is called a body..
He or she is not even addressed by the name...
A lifetime is over....
In that lifetime we have lost and have kept losing many things ...
We have gained so much in terms of physical material as well as emotional
Wealth....
But... However the minute we go...
We can't even take a single penny from the wealth... Not a single piece of clothing from the designer brands not a single solitaire not a single degree not a single relationship not a single post in an organisation not a single award not even any esteemed title of Pandit , Dr. , Miss India, Padma award winner or Noble prize Laurette ...
Nothing goes with us...not even memories....
Absolutely nothing....
And afterlife is also not permanent...
We have to take rebirth....
In the next reincarnation we have to start from ZERO...
again take birth again learn to hold head again learn to sit stand and the works till we die again....
When nothing in life or after is permanent, why form attachments...
Attachments to people places things emotions relations finance property beauty age power post awards anything....
Attachment is futile and always yields in pain is a known truth...
We can still be loving caring and giving and enjoying life to the fullest without Attachment...
Not being attached doesn't mean we have to appear arid and portray I don't give a damn attitude...
However in reality, detachment makes us kinder gentler and more attuned to what's happening in the moment...
Attachment results in a tug of war between wasting time in remembering and recreating memories in our mind or dreaming and worrying about future...
Aspirations are good and they result in intent based actions...
Desires have a border of obsessive compulsiveness to them and result in an attachment to the result....
Result may or may not be in our favor...
Life goes on...
No job can be permanent
No comfort can be forever...
No relationship can be consistent
If it lasts, while it lasts, till it lasts and after its Last.... we have to be thankful for it...
What's the use in hoarding things rituals, possession, relationships to living or dead just for the heck of it....
Once their role in life has served its purpose they are taken away... They have to go and we have to let them go...
We can't hold on
We can't cling
We can't keep running to our past...
Accept the Detachment and start real living...
Once this detachment comes...
We start enjoying life to its fullest...
I love this song for its lyrics...

हर घडी बदल रही है रूप जिंदगी
छाँव है कभी, कभी है धूप जिंदगी
हर पल यहा जी भर जियो, जो है समा,
कल हो ना हो....
छाँव है कभी, कभी है धूप जिंदगी
हर पल यहा जी भर जियो, जो है समा,
कल हो ना हो....
I like the part where you have mentioned the titles. It becomes all the more difficult to detach
