"Let all the pining and all attachment be for the Lord; He alone is eternal, the source of all joy. For the rest, love a thing as a thing, not more. Love a person as a person, not more. If you love them more, it is a sign that you've been deceived about their real nature! You can behave only for a short time as if the house you rented is your own! For as soon as the period is over, it passes on to another! If you think along these lines, you will know that spouse, children, possessions and relatives are not yours for long, but only for a short time. So why waste time, worrying over these impermanent things?"
~ Sri Sathya Sai Baba ~
(Dhyana Vahini, Ch.6)
