Let be it. These three simple words are used as a title by one enlightened old master to write two thick volumes of book. Just to understand these words it took me a long long to understand and to practice it. One student of mine told me that she had so many ideas in mind thinking of what to do next after her graduation. So I said, " Let it be." She was quite taken aback and wasn't happy with an simple answer. So I needed to explain these words; let it be. " Let all your thoughts settled down, the right answer would appear." " So easy?" I answered back, " Yes it is that easy."
I remembered when I was having some difficulties to solve my Maths problems, I simply stopped thinking about it. Then I put my book under my pillow and went to sleep. At the middle of the night when my mind had settled down all the answers just appeared.
Some friends were worried about their job situation and problems came to consult me. I told them to let it be. True enough after somedays they came back to tell me their bosses were quite happy with their performances.
I always like to say "heaven" has mercy on all of us. As long as we do our work accordingly and be humble with a smiling face all the time, let it be will take place. Everything will fall in nicely and accordingly.

What is meditation? It is just to be aware of what you doing and thinking all the time.
We need not sit down to do it. If we know our own existence in this present moment, that is more than enough. Let it be and let your mind be free as if it is a pool of clear water where you can see your own depth. So whatever you do, speak or think has its meaning for good and beneficial to whole mankind. Then you have liberated yourself to a certain extend where no bad or neutral thoughts remain. You are free and you can feel your body and mind very light for all occasion.

The split second of your decision will make a world of difference. Treasure your thinking and don't let anger or other evil lust comes in to make you do the wrong thing. It is like a match stick that can burn the whole forest down.
How to learn to understand and learn to have this split of a second? As we doing our breathing, in between the inhalation and exhalation, there is a very short pause.Learn to extend this pause much longer and it becomes very useful in future in your thinking of making a decision. As Lord buddha said this split of a second can determine you either to be a buddha or a demon.
I have see some masters towards the end have become demons when they couldn't resist the temptation of money and lust. And eventually they have terrible death with their reputations completely wiped off. The final choice is still yours.

A mind needs to be trained in order to find the equilibrium and balance. Too much training or too little training with your mind in meditation, you will not able to establish the harmony and equanimity and thereby it forms a barrier for your wisdom and compassion to emerge. ( 2 cents opinion )
