I use my peace of mind as a gauge in measuring things in
life. If I felt stressed or miserable, I knew that what I was
doing or have done was not right. So I had to find a way to
correct it. Whatever we have gained would be lost in the
long run. The more we gain, the more we will lose. If we gain
nothing, we will lose nothing. This is because all things are
temporary. We all will eventually leave this earth. There is
no room for regrets, since this is not the only time that we
leave this earth. We’ve left these bodies of ours millions of
times already. If we think this way, we will have no regrets.
This is because what remains is our mind. We will never
lose it. It will never be gone. The only thing is whether our
mind will have quality or not, be smart or stupid. If the mind
is clever, it will not carry any burden; if it is stupid, it will
carry a load, a pile of dukkha. Anything that we called ours
will always give us suffering. If we claim nothing as ours,
then we can have peace.
