LETTING GO OR DROPPING AWAY?
The Autumn is the perfect season in which to contemplate and practise letting go... we only have to look at the deciduous trees in a temperate climate to appreciate this. The word deciduous is defined thus, ‘the dropping of a part that is no longer needed’. As daylight hours decrease, photosynthesis declines, the leaves start to change colour and eventually drop off in a complex process known as abscission. This process can take quite a long time... but possibly not as long as it takes us as humans to let go of the things which we no longer need!
What can also often happen in the autumn is that we sometimes experience severe weather conditions, strong winds, gales, storms and frosts. The trees that have been hanging on to their leaves in... more

What is maya? Maya is illusion. It is a veil of illusion that is part of the creative power of Brahman – Brahman being the absolute reality that we have been talking about over the weeks.
