The Great Fact

[Guest guest]

That is the one cause of misery: we are attached, we

are being caught. Therefore says Gita: Work

constantly; work, but be not attached; be not caught.

Reserve unto yourself the power of detaching yourself

from everything, however beloved, however much the

soul might yearn for it, however great the pangs of

misery you fee if you were going to leave it; still,

reserve the power of leaving it whenever you want. The

weak have no place here, in this life or in any other

life. Weakness leads to slavery. Weakness leads to all

kinds of misery, physical and mental. Weakness is

death. There are hundreds of thousands of microbes

surrounding us, but they cannot harm us unless we

become weak, until the body is ready and predisposed

to receive the. There may be a million microbes of

misery, floating about us. Never mind! They dare not

approach us, they have no power to geta hold on us,

until the mind is weakened. This is the great fact:

strength is life, weakness is death.
