You are only a visitor here

A tourist visited a Sufi saint. He was astonished to see that the Sufi's home was a simple room. The only furniture was a mat and a kerosene lamp.

Tourist : "Sufi, where's your furniture?"

Sufi : "Where is yours?"

Tourist : "Mine? But I'm only a visitor here."

Sufi : "So am I."

- Rumi

The above excerpt reflects a deep lesson that many of us have forgotten. As Shri Krishna quotes in Bhagavad Gita,"You came here empty handed, you will leave empty handed. What is yours today belonged to someone else yesterday, and will belong to someone else tomorrow."

We make our life so much complicated through unnecessary materialistic possession and unnecessary human desires that even living becomes an act of courage.

The most beautiful things in this world are simple and so is life.
