This may be a more accurate way to put it. We can lose our flow and connection with the Truth......
I agree, perhaps too attached, especially to things that may be more trivial. Or to things that are ultimately trivial, but we make big. It it all comes down to the five thieves. I value how Sikhism refers to these as "thieves" more so than as "sins," as they truly rob us of Truth, rob us of a chance to connect to the One, to our higher selves.
I like what you have written, its prompting me to reflect.
I think that a truthful agenda will inherently lead to truthful/genuine actions. And I think the challenge is not having expectations from others. Not expecting that just because my intentions are truthful, it doesn't mean someone else's are also truthful (and vice versa). And if we are indeed living with the flow of truth, it really should not even matter. But its challenging when something happens, and the thieves simmer to the surface.
I think this is fundamental. To just "be" and accept our nothingness, and that it is all just the One.
Or perhaps not necessarily have no goals and such - since in our worldy lives, this is necessary to survive. However, we much not become too attached to those things, and allow them to overtake us. There is much to learn even in sufferance - but the learning is halted if we remain attached and stuck in the sufferance. We must remain in the flow of the Truth and realize it is all the One.....
This really highlights just "being," being in the moment that comes. And being in that flow.
Perhaps with dedicated practice, more mindfulness, and time, I'll better learn to follow the flow of truth...
We can understand so much in theory and in contemplation, but during real-life events, it can all go out the window.
