Just like the day and the night: if we choose the day, what can you do to avoid the night? The night will come. The night does not bring misery; your choice of the day against the night is creating misery. Every choice is bound to end up in a miserable state.
Choicelessness is blissfulness. And choicelessness is let-go. It means the day comes, the night comes, success comes, failure comes, the days of glory come, the days of condemnation come – and because you have not chosen anything, whatever comes is alright, it is always fine with you.
Slowly, you will see a distance growing in you: the circle will go on moving but you are not caught in it. It doe snot matter to you whether it is day or night. You are centred in yourself; you are not clinging to something else, you are not making your centre somewhere else.
The question is if you can live without choice. Whatever comes, enjoy it. When it goes, something else comes, enjoy it. Day is beautiful, but night is beautiful in its own way – why not enjoy both. And you can enjoy both only if you are not attached to one.
