Going about our daily lives in the world, the mind tends to get excited, thoughts seem to keep banging inside the head and we get weary and a sense of heaviness fills up. Tormented by the continuous barrage of thoughts, is there no hope of redemption? Yes, there are a few moments in life when thought stops and life flows. But otherwise, the weariness of daily life fills us to the core. There is no peace and only continuous motion and restlessness. Even silence seems not to last. Attachment to the world brings with it a terrible weariness. Consumed by innumerable anxities and worries, life becomes a drab. Inspite of all the wealth and health, there seems to be no rest. True peace can only come with complete detachment. Even a small attachment will pull you back into the world. Fear creates attachment. Attachment is desire. Without desire, there is no attachment. Thus desire is the cause of all unrest. As long as there is desire, there will be bondage. The heart will wither away. And only death will provide rest. Chained to the expectations of the world, we find no rest.
Abandon all hope my friend. Realize that you do not belong to this world, nor to any other person in this world. This world is not your true home. Yes, it comes up for a moment like a dream. And while we are in it, we cannot imagine another state. But you do not belong here. The illusion that you do will cause great unrest. Yes, this world has been created to cause unrest. There is no rest here. This world cannot provide peace. It is just a play of countless forms. Forever in motion, unable to find rest. Caught up in its web and surface charm, you will be disillusioned. And then, one in it you will be trapped. And then, only death will relieve you. Loss is the nature of this world. Everything which is gained is finally lost. Do not seek redemption in this world. True peace comes from returning back to where you belong. Not amidst this ever changing, forever moving machine of the world. Yes, there is glamor and lust and temptation and sex, but these dont provide rest to the mind. Only a temporary high. You are here in this world, no point renouncing it. But you are not from it. Realize the true mother. Only in her will rest be found.
