The Invisible Traveller – A Meditation On Letting Go

In this gentle meditation, Dr Prashant Kakoday invites you to experience yourself as an invisible traveler — a peaceful presence moving lightly through the world. As you adopt this perspective, the mind naturally releases its grip on ownership and expectation. You begin to sense freedom, appreciation, and calm detachment from life’s passing scenes.

This meditation helps you learn the art of letting go and finding quiet joy in simply being.

In this,

The image we hold is the image of a traveller,

We call him invisible traveller.

So,

With the eye of the mind,

We are seeing this traveller in the image of a tiny star or just a presence.

This traveller is like a tourist in this world,

Implying he is here for a very short time.

He is very clear of his exit,

He knows this is not his world.

He is aware of his world beyond.

In this attitude,

There is naturally freedom,

A traveller does not create a bondage.

So,

With the eye of the mind,

We are seeing that traveller,

That presence,

But also experiencing that perspective of the traveller,

Experiencing that consciousness,

Experiencing that freedom,

Experiencing a state where there is nothing to complain.

Traveller does not own anything,

He has no intention to claim anything,

To own anything,

Because he is aware of his exit.

For him,

Every moment is a gift,

Every interaction is a gift.

The traveller is aware of his state of being beyond harm,

He loses nothing,

He needs nothing,

He misses nothing,

He is aware of his world beyond.

What he is as he enters,

He remains the same when he leaves,

There are no disappointments,

There are no desperations.

The invisible traveller naturally,

Like any tourist,

Have the attitude of appreciation,

Attitude of subtle gratitude.

As we continue on this journey,

We have the option to grasp this perspective of the traveller,

The invisible traveller.
