Otherwise yet another deal of card will be played again and again and again and again and again and again.
Until one let it go..
If one still 'being attached' about the 'result of the game' he will definitely still play the game..
"If you realize that all things change, there is nothing you will try to hold on to."
– Lao Tzu
Lao Tzu wrote an entire treaties about "nothing".
Because only by being no-thing one will be every-thing.
In Yogic philosophy this is metaphorized by 'bursting the bubble releasing the contained air inside the bubble to rejoin the pervasive all borderless air'
In Buddhist system this is called Nirvana (not the rock band), the blowing out.
I am with you my brother.
Specially this part fits perfectly to the story of Siddhartha and this thread.
Here Lao Tzu is speaking about trying to hold something, but playing a game must not be holding on past things.
You can act as possible in the now - this is different from a passive role without playing and to be only an observer.
It is a very strong and important experience being no-thing, but it is not possible and sensefull to be this all the time.
Additional it is possible that it is not your life-plan to be a Yogi, Zen-master or the like and spirituality is only a part of your challenge.
