Importance

Meditation has a lot to do with letting go, not just thoughts, though yes to that.  This prayer is about letting go of all those things that make us feel important.   We clutter ourself up with so much importance, when in fact we ought to become unimportant to ourself.  Make room for God's love, or anyone's love for that matter.  You are hard to love if you spend so much time, focus, and energy on being important.  We become "too full our Self."  No room for anyone else.  I am less busy with more time for a spiritual practice, when I stop working at stuff to feel important.  And I talk less.  No need to impress or advertise my greatness on anyone else.  The best importance comes from others and that includes God.  We mind less when we are ignored, if we don't have a craving for importance.
