Often one goes for one thing and finds another
Everything is impermanent, except the love of God.
Love everyone, serve everyone, remember God, and tell the truth.
It is very difficult to know exactly what good should come out of a particular situation. To attempt to manipulate circumstances so your idea of good can come about, is to let the ego play God-and that, as you know, can and does backfire.
This world is all attachment. Yet you get worried because you are attached.
Cleanse the mirror of your heart, and you will see God.
