Welcome to my Blog: Please spare a thoughtHow should one live in this world ?
'Like a passenger on a train,' He said without hesitation. 'You mustn't get too attached to the world. A passenger makes the acquaintance of many travellers. Some get off at the next stop, others at other stops. He is civil to them, but he does not form deep friendships, because he knows that he is unlikely to see them again. Thsi is how we must live. Don't imagine for a moment that your children, your parents have the same stop. We are all passengers. This train is not your home.'
'Surely this world,' i said, ' with all its failures and sorrows, is better for the emotion that we invest in it, especially n human relationships. I like the train journey.'
'Yes, but once you reach your destination then you are on your own. So, why don't you try my way ? Once you taste the real thing, you will become the train.'
I was puzzled. 'What does it mean, "to become the train" ?' I asked.
'Once you have experienced reality,' he said. 'then you are no longer a faded, puposeless passenger who is afraid of death. You are in charge of your rich, full bloodied life.'

It takes others ages and many lives to relaise the perceptible difference between the passengers, the stations and the train. It's true the Grace of the Guru that helps you to tell the difference, for without that its is difficult to see the difference.
Rejoice in being the lucky one or should I say the 'chosen one'.
Illuminate the lives of others.
