Guest guest Posted June 13, 2009 Report Share Posted June 13, 2009 My hunmble pranams at the divine lotus feet of our ever present beloved bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba! Possessions " Possessions are great, nothing wrong with them. But possessions do not make you cool, and they can trap you. Here is a scary quote: 'See them floundering after their cherished possessions, like fish flopping in a river starved of water.'-Sutta Nipata Right now you are not dying; you're just being born. Can you enjoy your possessions now? Sure, enjoy them. Just don't flounder around after them. You like your shoes? Wear them! You like your CDs? Play them! Buddha says yes to that. But your possession of them is just a dream because like dreams, all things pass away. You can grasp after them, but you can't catch them. Your life is like a series of little dreams that rise and fall. Your possessions are dream-things without substance. When you wake from a dream, you don't try to hold onto dream-things. You're awake move forward! " Om Sri Sai Ram Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
