Discourse- 142 Life is Impermanent
Sanjeev Kumar
Mindfulness Practitioner, Director, and Author at Canadian Mindfulness Research Centre
Everything is in the constant state of change and keep on moving. There is nothing fixed such as atom changes into molecule and molecule changes into matter which is law of nature. As we were kid, young, old, and die after few years. We need to accept all changes and move forward. Do not need to be standstill or stagnant at all otherwise you lose true essence of your life. Have you ever seen standstill water in a pond which smell after long time because there is no recharging of energy takes place because water is not moving? Water in river or ocean are flowing and moving and generating new energy therefore we need to connect with it and we becomes the river and rive becomes you it means we have to live with the flow of energy.
We must accept all changes but when we live with ego, we do not accept these changes and keep on fighting and struggling whole life and attract suffering at the end. Just for example most the people are looking for happiness every moment which is impossible again. How can we be happy every moment? You cannot, days come and night go, in the same way happiness come and go and it keeps on moving therefore do not go away from it. Whatever comes, we have to accept with gratitude and love and as soon as we accept it there is no pain or suffering and it get dissolved and you are free from suffering.
When you live with flow, creativity and innovation are created. Make our life adventurous but not standstill. Most of the people are working same kind of job for many years and there is no creativity and innovation because they have not gone beyond and still living with limited resources and they almost finished their lives although they live physically. There is a limitless and endless possibilities around us but we are not able to see because we are busy in standstill work and therefore we cannot celebrate every moment.
Make our life adventurous and be courageous to move beyond to accept all changes-Sanjeev Kumar
