It was the ego that caused
all the worry so long.
How does this egotism
get into our system?
Is it a weed that grows in us
and is cultivated by us until
it destroys us roots and branch?
Where was this ego in the beginning?
Where were we before we were born?
Where will we be after we die?
All our inferences are but
products of the period between birth and death.
When the girl you married
was seriously ill as a child,
you did not worry for she had
not become "yours."
We ourselves develop this attachment
as a cohesive and stabilizing factor in life.
But we then allow it to grow into
huge dimensions till it hinders our spiritual progress.
Cultivate love, not delusion.
Love your wife and children and
do your duty towards them as a husband and a father.
But always hold on to the true values.
Do not lose your sense of proportion. ...
Remember always that wife, son, mother---
all kinship is basically only physical, body-bound, time-limited.divinely sent
