All things are ephemeral, limited, doomed to suffer decay through time, artificial, and beneath that which fuels all you see and is reality; therefore, a piece of land, people, daily situations, great achievements, all relationships you form, they are all tied to thoughts and feelings of change, time moves forward and it does not stop, all life has an end and it is mechanical.
The human being is indeed a traveler, substance of thought and flesh under the rule of constant change, constant evolution; and so, it is not these temporal things tied to change which must rule your life, even though they occupy certain importance in the healthy development, but it is what fuels these the one ethereal substance to discover beyond the everyday facade.
Where do you discover happiness really…?? Is it in a piece of land, in the job you have, in the relationship you have, in the success in society you gain, in the pride of seeing your son or daughter getting a family of his or her own…?? And do you really own these things and people…?? Are you the owner really….?? … And what happens if you lose your land, your job, your relationship, your success in society, and if your daughter or son dies…?? Does that mean happiness dies for you, too….?? …
Know that happiness does not mean the pleasure of having all these wonderful things; but happiness is not a product of these things or any thing…
And that is precisely the problem with humanity, their thinking is too superficial, mediocre, mechanical, conditioned; for they believe only in what they see, and so love and happiness is in what they find in relationships, people, events, successes in the world of form, etc. Love and happiness is a gamble for them, such gamble which carries suffering, confusion, enslavement which is the great loss of all mental and emotional freedom.
But one who is awake or wants a realization of a deeper nature, should question what happiness really is, and what is it you own in this life…
“Sunlight fell upon the wall; the wall received a borrowed splendor. Why set your heart on a piece of earth, O simple one? Seek out the source which shines forever.” ~ Rumi.
