Mohan’s musing : That delicate balance between ‘ Holding on and letting go ‘
This participant at our Leadership program was deep into it: No onion-No garlic. Introducing self as a ‘ Savtvik’.
She would make it a ritual to check with the kitchen staff and at the table too , scrutinizing the preparations and even validating them, sniffing and smelling .
By the third day, she had become the butt of the rest of the group members, who found her obsession; intrusive, invasive and meddling .
Felt bad and even sorry …………..same time, it raised a larger poser in my mind
How sometimes we become so unconsciously possessed and obsessed about what we have consciously decided to let go AND how this self imposed abstinence almost creates by default an attachment to be detached.
I have no real answer…..
However what has started worrying me is that these ‘ Satvik ‘like life style syndromes, when taken to the edge, can make one highly susceptible and even send acute symptomatic mixed signals in society
