Quiroga - 270

 Impermanence and eternity

While we here worry about impermanence, and are distressed that everything has to come to an end and disappear, the Universe we are made of is eternal and operates through the continuity of everything, and why on earth should it be any different with us? ?

The forms do not remain, but the essence continues; human beings are born and pass away, but our humanity continues, each of us is the sum of the deeds and undones of our ancestors, and we are also the planters of seeds of the future, which our descendants, direct or indirect, will experience.

Why is it that type of ignorance masquerading as intelligence that we are always anxious about what we will eventually have to lose, while disregarding the available eternity?

Right people and wrong people are mixed in this part of the path, and you will need all your discernment to distinguish which are one and which are the other, aware that with all of them you will have to negotiate.
