Why should we take worldly sorrows and disappointments lightly and how can we find joy in life? Bhagawan lovingly explains to us in His own inimitable style today. The self-same Lord gives and takes! He gives and takes as and when He wishes. Everything is His, so how foolish it is to lament when things belonging to Him are taken back by Him! Therefore, the wise person doesn’t pine over anyone or feel undue attachment to anything. Let all the pining and all attachment be for the Lord; He alone is eternal, the source of all joy. For the rest, love a thing as a thing, not more. Love a person as a person, not more. If you love them more, it’s a sign that you’ve been deceived about their real nature! You can behave only for a short time as if the house you rented is your own! For as soon as the period is over, it passes on to another! If you think along these lines, you will know that spouse, children, possessions, and relatives are not yours for long, but only for a short time. So why waste time, worrying over these impermanent things?
