'Lord, in what form are you appearing before me now to teach me the Eternal Truth that all this is only Pure Consciousness?'
The teaching the Lord gives essentially seems to be 'Give up your notion of I, me, and mine.'
As long as these persist, there is pain and sorrow. Absence of this attachment is peace, Bliss and Realization.
Become
a TyAgarAja: the Lord of Renunciation. Give it up. Give everything up.
There seems to be no other way, hard though it appears, and it is not so
bad.
Clinging to a false sense of ownership, although seemingly easier
at first, is more painful in the long run.
That which comes
unbidden. Accept and do not reject.
That which leaves of its own accord. Do not hold on to.
That which is not available. Do not long for.
This
is the recipe for peace.
