Me, my Guru – on redundancies of life

 


Contd....

Me, my Guru – on redundancies of life


Secure them but your security is not in them – have that clarity!

You lose your loved one – let it be.

You are insulted, cheated, misinterpreted, misunderstood – so what?

You are alone – BE.

You are leading a mediocre life – so what?



You lost all your earnings – forget it, start afresh! Don’t lose yourselves over these things. Work for them if you choose to have them. Just don’t feel desperate for them.

Don’t lose your sleep over them.



Always remember “sab paake bhi yahan sab khona hi hai”

सब पाके भी यहाँ सब खोना हैं। 

You have to leave behind everything in spite of amassing it!

This is all I remember of that day. She continued talking but on a different topic. I was lost here or rather stuck here. And only these words seemed to matter then and surprisingly even NOW!


Here words “Always remember “sab paake bhi yahan sab khona hi hai”” how true! These words kept ringing in my head for a long time to come….
