In English
“You have become feeble because of the weakness of your mind. You are suffering because of your attachment to your relations, who are temporary, like passing clouds. Before marriage, there is no relationship between husband and wife; before the birth of the child, there is no relationship with the child. You cannot understand this until you know that you have had several births. If you think about it, you would know that you had many births earlier.” “I am unable to believe this,” said . replied, “Take a small example. You married my sister on a particular date and you remember this. But if someone asks you, where you were on 26 April you do not remember. What is the reason? It is because you do not give importance to this date as you give to your wedding day. The reason for not remembering your previous births is also similar.” An optimist and a pessimist looked at water in a tumbler. The optimist said that the glass was half full. The pessimist said that the tumbler was half empty. The optimist is full of happiness. The pessimist sees the thorn below the rose; the optimist on the other hand sees the rose flower. Pessimism and optimism both depend on vision or attitude ( ). The two are closely related. Hopelessness arises out of faulty vision. The optimist and the pessimist walk on the same path. The optimist looks up and sees the sky and the stars whereas the pessimist looks down and sees pits. Both are walking on the same road. But there is difference in their vision and their points of view.
