We will go one day
The mind is restless and must be tamed, not killed. It is a storehouse of memories, often imagined, that distract from spiritual practice. Humans are drawn to negativity and temporary happiness. Meditation is a process of releasing thoughts and preparing for death, which is a reality. Yogis are detached, but we remain attached to people and possessions, which causes rebirth. The bond of devotion to the Guru is permanent; all else is temporary. Do not fight against thoughts or the reality of death; let them come and go. Planning is futile. Practice daily spiritual discipline, even if only a little. Realize the temporary nature of the self and the body. Live in the present moment. Spiritual roots must not be forgotten.
"Only the bond, the devotion, the love, the bhakti toward the Guru is permanent. All else is temporary."
"What you are planning to do tomorrow, do today. What you are planning to do today, do now."
