Finding Eternal Joy.
Discovering the Timeless Foundation in a World of Fleeting Moments.
Human nature inherently seeks fleeting pleasures in specific moments, only to yearn for a shift towards another experience shortly after that. However, the eternal truth remains that the destiny of the things in this world is inevitable.
Therefore, accurate and lasting joy cannot be derived from any particular entity. Unfortunately, many fail to comprehend this reality, dedicating the fragrance of their lives to the altar of materialism.
The consequence of such pursuits could be more manageable.
Even if joy is found, it is but a transient moment.
Human beings consistently harbour a desire for a secure haven. Would you build your home on the shifting sands?
No, you would construct it on a foundation of solid earth. People always seek a sturdy base to safeguard their mental capacities and provide essential energy in the face of worldly challenges.
Is there such a firm foundation in this world? A limited one cannot be the basis of your life, for it will end, leaving your mind empty. It will plunge you into the abyss of darkness, leading you onto countless paths.
Hence, something other than the eternal and limitless, past the nation-states of the beginning and the stop, can not be the subject of your mind or the foundation of your lifestyle. What should one do then?
Start perceiving the limited and surface-level aspects in their infinite and enduring forms.
This perspective will eradicate the attraction and fear of losing them. Who does not love their child? May no father witness the demise of their offspring. A child is a limited entity, unable to live indefinitely.
It may depart, causing sorrow, but if one recognizes the expression of Brahman in their child, there will be no fear or grief, for Brahman can never be lost. This is the safest haven of life, improving this world and transcending to the next.
