What is yours today, belonged to someone else yesterday

Aug 28, 2011 Food For Thought

 

 

Why do you worry without a cause?
Whom do you fear without reason?
Who can you kill?
The soul is neither born, nor does it die.

Whatever happened, happened for the good;
Whatever is happening, is happening for the good;
Whatever will happen, will also happen for the good only.

You need not have any regrets for the past.
You need not worry for the future.
The present is happening…
What did you lose that you cry about?
What did you bring with you, which you think you have lost?

What did you produce, which you think got destroyed?
You did not bring anything,
Whatever you have, you received from here.
Whatever you have given, you have given only here.
Whatever you took, you took from God.

Whatever you gave, you give to him.
You came empty handed, you will leave empty handed.
What is yours today, belonged to someone else yesterday,
And will belong to someone else in the day after tomorrow.
You are mistakenly enjoying the thought that this is yours.
It is this false happiness that is the cause of your sorrows.
Change is the law of the universe.
What you think of as death, is indeed life.

In one instance you can be a millionaire, and in the other instance you can be steeped in poverty.
Yours and mine, big and small erase these ideas from your mind.
Then everything is your s and you belong to everyone.
This body is not yours, neither are you of the body.
The body is made of fire, water, air, earth and ether, and will disappear into these elements.
But the soul is permanent – so who are you?
