ARISE! AWAKE!

See the impermanence of life in this life. That is the Truth. Turn back…...and see that everything you did is like a dream. Whatever you do in the future-- you may become mayor of a town you may rise to the highest position or you may have a lot of wealth-- so what? You have cried and wept go angry and agitated-- so what?                        Suppose you had never had any unpleasant moments in your life….. Then you would never have had any pleasant ones either-- because you wouldn’t know what pleasantness is! Your life would stagnate out of utter boredom. You would become like stone. So now and then here and there nature gives you a little pinch in order to keep you alive. This makes life livelier. Accept it.
