"Everything you cling to (some more, some less)……" — Swami Premodaya
"Everything you cling to (some more, some less) will be ripped away from you, sooner or later. The ancient wisdom is: Give it up now, voluntarily, so it can't be ripped away from you. Give it up now, so what remains is what can't be taken away form you."
