Millions of years have passed and millions will come. What is your life: 60, 70 or 100 years? The span of life is insignificant. It is not even a drop in the ocean.
In terms of space, you simply don’t exist! This understanding dissolves the ego. Ego is ignorance of your reality, your existence. Just open your eyes and ask, “Who am I? How I am on this planet? What is my lifetime?” Awareness dawns in the mind, and you will stop worrying about little things like, “This person said this thing to me and that person broke away with me and this happened with that person and I am going to say this.…”
All smallness will drop away and you will be able to live every moment of your life. Your life revolves around your context. You should be happy in life. All other businesses involve ups and downs, which is natural.
If there is a body, then it will get cold, cough, fever or something else, and it will go away. But take care to see that happiness is always established in you. That is known as purushartha.
Our love, faith and belief should be deep-rooted, then everything else moves on its own. Are you able to maintain your equanimity? Not everything in the world is sweet. If you are grounded with faith, you will progress.
Keep your mind in peace in all situations. The rest will be taken care of. You have to take at least one step forward, which is to be in peace and equanimity. The world is filled with love. Everybody has love inside them.
You have to see that in your mind. If you review the context of your life, the quality of your life will improve.
