Letting go is crucial for spiritual growth and personal freedom. Singer argues that True growth comes from releasing inner disturbances rather than suppressing or avoiding them. 'If you protect yourself, you will never be free.' By letting go of the need to defend our ego and self-concept, we allow our consciousness to remain centered and unaffected by external events. For example, when someone takes your pencil at work, instead of getting upset, you can choose to let go of the irritation and maintain your inner peace.
