If you don’t understand the Reality, you will be bogged down by every little up and down in life. If you do understand the Reality, you are not bogged down by life. Remember, what I am saying is that you will not be bogged down but you do have a sense of empathy, and you will be awake, alive to the pathos of a situation. The pathos of losing someone dear will be there but you will not be drowning in sorrow, because you know there is no birth and death and the so-called dead one is not different from you. At the same time, a form is gone. You are not going to meet the form again. To sum up, you are alive to the pathos of the situation but, at the same time, you are not bogged down in grief.
