This world that you are born into is a very subtle trap. It traps by creating attachment to its fleeting joys and relationships. Your relationships are your primary source of attachment and loss of any relationship brings with it sadness and despair. Yet, you carry on. The force of life carries you on. You will lose your loved ones, your parents, your spouse and many more. Ever present movement and the flow of life keeps forever moving and changing and causing pain. To have even a slight attachment will result in sadness. The world is neither good nor evil. Its nature is change. And change disrupts. And it hides the changeless.
What can you do but go with the flow of change? What do you really know but this life that you live? And your tears are great cleansers. Cleansers of attachment and worldliness. Truly, there is no redemption to be found here. Only sorrow. Seek refuge, therefore in the sorrow less. The source reality. But there is no life there. Life is here and now, amidst the sorrow that you seek to overcome. Your loved ones are here in this world of change. All the little joys of life is here in the world of change. Oh, great one, you who seeks the truth of the universe and the one God, your life is here and here alone. Other than this, there is nothing else. The great irony. To get rid of sorrow, is to get rid of love. In the absence of love and sorrow, what remains is the changeless eternity.
Your tribe is here. Your love is here. Other than this, there is no love. You, the one who seeks to end sorrow. There is not truth that can be experienced. All that matters for you, dear one, is your perception. Perception of your state. Response to your particular sorrow. Attitude to life. Your only freedom. To choose your response to life. To choose your response to sorrow. To choose your response to change. To choose your response to death. In the end, the only thing that can be relied upon is your unique response to life. Your response to the vast suffering around. You choose your attitude. The most precious treasure. A small light in a dark place can bring joy. A small darkness in a bright place can bring sorrow. The only refuge from the relativities of life lies in the absolute alone.
