DETACHMENT AND ABILITY TO LET GO

Along with concentration, we should also develop the ability to detach ourselves from any thing or task at a moment's notice. Some people can concentrate and absorb in a task, but, they find it difficult to forget this first activity completely while taking on to the next activity. They have some hangover period. This only shows that we get unduly attached towards various things which actually we should not.
Please note that the world is a great training school. The only importance of various worldly things and incidents is to give us necessary training and lessons for our growth. They themselves are not important as such. Hence, we should only use them for our learning and growth, but, not get overly attached to them and once the purpose is served by learning necessary lesson, we should forget and discard them.Concentration and detachment should be practised simultaneously. Ability to forget and detach from undesirable past is a great quality for achieving success in life. It is well said 'Though it is sometime useful to remember, but it is often wise to forget'.
