Goodbyes are always hard. Unless you are leaving a toxic workplace or a terrible boss.
Even then, there’ll always be some people in the organization that were nice to you, and bidding them adieu isn’t easy.
But the beauty of change, is that when one door closes, another opens up, bringing with it several new relationships and possibilities.
Life on a spiritual level is similar too perhaps. Even at the most difficult time of death, which the Gita speaks about in great detail, the give up of these wordly attachments and cling-ons means that one gets to truly know and meet their Creator. Unless one wants to come back to this cycle of births and deaths of course.
As the poet Rumi noted on his deathbed to his weeping disciple, “Don’t weep, I’m parting ways with this world and getting ready to embrace my greater beloved.”
