GOOD MORNING MESSAGE #363

♥ Good morning friends,

In the third last message of the series I discuss with you the distinction between Love and Attachment:

Love is, we know, for us, the best emotion,
But the same of attachments is not true.
You can, towards your loved one show devotion,
But, getting too attached is not good for you.
One quality of the world is that everything is transient,
Through attachments you seek to make it permanent.

You have people and things for the time being,
In perpetuity you own nothing at all.
The Time, you know, is always fleeing,
Only for a short time your loved ones enthral.
Everybody comes from God and merges with Him,
He has, for all of us, love up to the brim.

Love your home but don’t get too attached,
You don’t own it but you have that illusion.
Even from your own people be detached,
And let me clarify one small confusion:
Love is eternal but not for body and things,
The soul will fly away one day on golden wings.

When you love someone his soul is, of his body, a tenant,
From one life to another it moves from home to home.
The soul is, on Time and Life, not dependent,
It leaves the body and is again free to roam.
Your attachment to body is thus meaningless,
Love the soul that is ageless and deathless.

I have done a long stint in the Indian Navy that lasted for nearly thirty seven years; I rose as far as my somewhat rebellious and irreverent nature allowed me to. On retirement, in Feb 2010, the first thing that occurred to me, and those around me, was that I Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (you will find an article with this title in this blog) and hadn't lost all my noodles and hence thought of a blog titled 'This 'n That'. I later realised that every third blog is called 'This 'n That' and changed the name to 'Sunbyanyname'. I detest treading the beaten track. This blog offers me to air 'another way' of looking at things. The idea is not just to entertain but also to bring about a change. Should you feel differently, you are free to leave your comments. You can leave comments even when you agree and want to share your own experience about the topic of the blog post. Impudent or otherwise, I have never been insousciant and I am always concerned about the betterment of community, nation and the world. I hope the visitors of this blog would be able to discern it.
