When You Aren’t Moved by Anything, You’re No Longer a Slave to Anything
The world thrives on pulling us in every direction. Advertisements whisper that happiness lies in the next purchase. Relationships stir waves of desire and fear. Success dangles like a prize that demands endless striving. Each movement within us, longing, anger, excitement, dread- becomes a hook by which the world tugs us.
Freedom arrives not when the world stops moving, but when your inner stillness no longer takes the bait. When nothing stirs you into attachment or aversion, nothing holds dominion over you. A compliment does not inflate your worth; an insult does not diminish it. Gain and loss, pleasure and pain, rise and fall without catching you in their undertow.
This is not numbness. It is not apathy. It is clarity. The heart continues to beat, the eyes continue to see, the hands continue to act, but no chain is forged by what passes through awareness. You walk unbound, as life’s play unfolds without demanding ownership.
When the winds of the world cannot sway you, you discover the ground beneath all experience; the silent witness that was never captive to circumstance. To live from here is to live without fear of being moved, for you have already found what cannot be taken.
