The One.

The One.

Someone asked me, 'Who are you?'

I replied 'Tirthankar.'

The one: and what is that?

I: what of course my hand!

The one: So that hand is yours.

The one: Isn't that leg yours too? the head, the hair, the eyes, nose ...all this is yours , right?

I: well ... of course man!

The one: Well then, if all of this is your's, then what are you?

I: *realisation happening*

The one: We are just custodians of this body. Its on rent. Its going to go back where it came from one day. So is it for all wealth gathered in this life. We are just custodians. All that we can ever leave behind are memories. So be good to people. And you shall find peace. Its your life - choose whether you want to be happy or sad, for it doesn't take more than a heart to be angry. And just the same, to love. May you find yourself very soon.
