We live
through many changes, upheavals, all the time. But even changes are just small
things in the universe, in the whole cosmic consciousness of God or of our
Real Self. Just like here, the light, the fan, the umbrella, me, you, everyone,
are all sitting in this room. Whoever comes here, whatever it is, is all in
this room. Change or not change, they are all in the universal consciousness.
So we just eat them all and digest them, or we make chapatis out of them.
"Therefore, be forever unchanged and balanced in the face of changes, upheavals,
sorrow, or happiness." That's the way we should be. If we look at it from
the whole viewpoint, the picture is like that. Whatever it is, it's inside
the universal power. There is no running away from it. We don't care, and
if we are God, we care even less. So be careful. Just remember you are God;
you are Buddha. The body is not you. The habits are not you. The bad character
is not you. Always remember and then respect yourselves, do the proper things,
and concentrate. Lack of concentrating results in many disasters and haphazard
events.
