Let Go Of Yourself | You Are Not Your Responsibilities 

On a daily basis we carry a lot of burdens with us, the idea is not to get attached to them. When you see these responsibilities as part of life but not a part of who you are, you are giving yourself the freedom of detachment and the gift of being able to let go.

Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji - Ang 1427
ਜਿਹਿ ਬਿਖਿਆ ਸਗਲੀ ਤਜੀ ਲੀਓ ਭੇਖ ਬੈਰਾਗ ॥
jeh bikhiaa sagalee tajee leeo bhekh bairaag ||
One who has forsaken all sin and corruption, who wears the robes of neutral detachment
ਕਹੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਸੁਨੁ ਰੇ ਮਨਾ ਤਿਹ ਨਰ ਮਾਥੈ ਭਾਗੁ ॥੧੭॥
kahu naanak sun re manaa teh nar maathai bhaag ||17||
says Nanak, listen, mind: good destiny is written on his forehead. ||17||
ਜਿਹਿ ਮਾਇਆ ਮਮਤਾ ਤਜੀ ਸਭ ਤੇ ਭਇਓ ਉਦਾਸੁ ॥
jeh maiaa mamataa tajee sabh te bhio udhaas ||
One who renounces Maya and possessiveness and is detached from everything
ਕਹੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਸੁਨੁ ਰੇ ਮਨਾ ਤਿਹ ਘਟਿ ਬ੍ਰਹਮ ਨਿਵਾਸੁ ॥੧੮॥
kahu naanak sun re manaa teh ghaT braham nivaas ||18||
says Nanak, listen, mind: God abides in his heart. ||18||
ਜਿਹਿ ਪ੍ਰਾਨੀ ਹਉਮੈ ਤਜੀ ਕਰਤਾ ਰਾਮੁ ਪਛਾਨਿ ॥
jeh praanee haumai tajee karataa raam pachhaan ||
That mortal, who forsakes egotism, and realizes the Creator Lord
ਕਹੁ ਨਾਨਕ ਵਹੁ ਮੁਕਤਿ ਨਰੁ ਇਹ ਮਨ ਸਾਚੀ ਮਾਨੁ ॥੧੯॥
kahu naanak vahu mukat nar ieh man saachee maan ||19||
says Nanak, that person is liberated; O mind, know this as true. ||19||
