I hope you don't mind me prying, but I don't think that is such a good plan. Not grasping, renunciation, may smack of opportunities lost. Whether these oportunities lost were real or imaginary is beside the point. What matters is the silent, barely noticable regret, that gets burried deep inside. If a person ends up with even a tiny bit of such almost unnoticable regret when practicing 'not grasping', that person can never truly be free. Instead of practicing not grasping, it would be better to realize that there isn't anything worth grasping to begin with. That practice will ensure that no hidden regrets ever remain, and will propel the practitioner towards absolute freedom without any possibility of a residue.
