Take a look at your life. Think of the things that are so important to you Think of the things that annoy you That disturb you. Think of the things that make you happy …
As long as you’re dealing with things, they must change. They will never be the same. Nothing is ever the same. Everything must change.
Why should you chase after things that change? Don’t you see the folly in this? You’re wasting your precious life. Then you come back again and again, until you refuse to any longer get involved with this world and you become free!
— Robert Adams (20th century American Advaita mystic)
