Are we going to spend this lifetime struggling against uncertainty and saying, “I’m like this and you’re like that”, or are we going to train in letting go and reconnecting with the natural flexibility of our being and help others do the same? If we do the latter, limitless possibilities open up.
We have three sheaths: the outer physical body that incorporates primitive drives and instinct, the inner one is the mind that includes reasoning and sense of individuality. At our core is the soul; it is absolute, it is beyond senses, thoughts and all relativity.
We cannot keep a past moment, the present moment cannot be held, the moment of the future cannot be caught. We are possessed by ideas of the past, preoccupied with images of the future, but we overlook the plain truth of the present moment.
Some cultures have held respect for elders or reverence for ancestors in highest regard and as a sacred duty. Yet few of us see the point in all this: if we, as heirs, understand the perspective of heirs, if we know this in our hearts, we will be less inclined to be bad ancestors ourselves.
