Letting Go: The Illusion of Stillness Explained

Posted on by Tavamithram Sarvada

A Deeper Look into Stillness, Identity, and the Final Trap

Have you ever tried letting go of your worries, your fears, or your attachments, only to still feel like something remains?
You’re not alone. For many sincere seekers, the final barrier is subtle: it’s not your thoughts, not your ego, not even your desires. It’s the silent identity hiding behind all of them. The witness.

In my latest video, I unpack what I call the final illusion: the quiet and respectable identity of the “observer”, the one who is calm, still, and watching.
But here’s the truth: stillness too is a role. And unless that role drops, freedom will remain just out of reach.

This is not about theory. It is not spiritual entertainment.
This is PURE VEDANTIC CLARITY, aimed at dismantling the last mask the mind wears, even in meditation.

If you have ever searched for:

  • How to overcome suffering through awareness
  • How to let go of mental attachments, or
  • How to go beyond thought and ego

Then this video will show you what lies beyond even those answers.

No beliefs. No rituals. No frills.
Just clear, unfiltered self-inquiry, rooted in the teachings of the Srimad Bhagavad Gita.

The myth of needing perfect conditions for peace

READ ON SUBSTACK

What does true peace look like?

Is it a secluded beach at sunset? A mountaintop retreat? The moment after you achieve a long-sought goal?

A photography contest once asked this same question—and the winning answer stunned everyone.

It wasn’t the most beautiful image. It wasn’t the most dramatic. But when the judges saw it, they immediately knew: This is it. This is real peace.

What did they see that moved them so deeply?

And more importantly – how can you access that same unshakeable calm, no matter your circumstances?

I explore this in my new video, “The Essence of Peace: A Journey Beyond Fear and Attachment.” It’s not what you might expect.

You’ll discover:

  • The hidden trap in how we chase peace (and why it keeps slipping away)
  • The 2-word mental shift that dissolves worry instantly
  • What predators, bouncing cups, and your deepest fears all have in common
  • Why “preparing for the worst” is actually the key to fearless living

This isn’t theory. It’s a revelation hiding in plain sight—in a poor village, in life-threatening crises in my life, and in the quiet space between your thoughts.

Peace isn’t something you find. It’s something you stop losing.

Watch here:

“The battle was never with the world. It was always in the mind—and the mind was never really you.”

P.S. The most extraordinary truths often wear the disguise of ordinary moments. This one might catch you by surprise.

Chasing Shadows: The Myth of Falling in Love Twice

Loving the ‘Ghosts’ of the Past

The Illusions of Rekindled Love

To rekindle love with the same person is to engage not with the individual afresh but with the echoes of memories. This profound realisation speaks to the heart’s intrinsic tendency to seek comfort in the familiar, often failing to distinguish between past and present.

When you attempt to fall in love a second time with the same person, it is not the person themselves that you are drawn to, but rather the nostalgic recollections of who they once were in your life. The heart, in its yearning, seeks not the present reality but the cherished illusions of the past. This longing is similar to chasing a mirage, where the closer you believe you are to reclaiming that love, the further you drift from the truth of the now.

Memories hold a powerful sway over us. They encapsulate moments of joy, connection, and intimacy, making them seem far more vibrant than the reality might have been. Everyone changes in life. Their looks, likes, dislikes, attitudes, expectations from others, and overall philosophy of life keep changing. When a person endeavours to rediscover a lost love, the truth is that they are not engaging with the person as they are in the present moment, with all their growth, changes, and complexities. Instead, they entwine themselves with the shadows of what once was, rather than the essence of what is.

This pursuit is fraught with peril. It sets us on a path where the idealised past overshadows the potential of the present. The beauty of memory lies in its ability to preserve moments, yet its danger resides in its capacity to imprison us within them. By constantly looking backwards, we risk missing the opportunities for genuine connection and growth that exist in the present.

To truly understand the nature of love is to recognise its fluidity. Love is not a static entity that can be perfectly recaptured once lost; it is an evolving force that thrives in the present moment. Embracing this perspective allows us to honour our memories, all of which are learning experiences, without becoming enslaved by them, and opening ourselves to the possibility of new experiences and deeper connections.

In the end, the quest to fall in love again with the same person teaches us a poignant lesson: the past, with all its beauty and pain, should be cherished but not clung to. The essence of true love lies in its ability to adapt, to grow, and to find beauty in the present, rather than in the shadows of what once was.
