If there were no expectations, perhaps world would be a much happier place. Doing what we do and moving on would let us be at much more peace. Easier it is to fall for the forbidden fruit of eagerness and expectations than detaching oneself from the outcomes. But, if expectations were to die, so would motivations. It is a tightrope walk then, expecting just enough to keep us motivated but not be blinded by the attachment to results.
This verse says it all...

Thanks Ramya!
DeleteIt's a little game I play with myself to not have expectations. I do have moments without them and the moments are peaceful, like floating... then crash... back to humanness... wanting, expecting... sigh... but I try.

Yep. No matter how much we try, we end up coming back to them. Thanks for dropping by.
DeleteExpectations are the root cause of problems in relationships!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely!
DeleteTrue that... but as humans... it comes naturally to us, isn't it? The day we stop expecting, we will reach nirvana :-)
ReplyDeleteNice post Shaivi...

Yes, but when expectations aren't met with, it hurts, for we are humans. Thanks!
