Temporary Guests

INVITED BY OUR PARENTS,


WE CAME HERE


AS TEMPORARY GUESTS,


AND WITHOUT REMAINING MIND,


WE GO BACK TO OUR NATIVE PLACE.


In a small haiku he is describing the whole of life. A child comes invited by the parents as a guest in the world, stays here some time, and again moves into the unknown universality, just as a wave arises and disappears in the ocean. This much is our so-called life.


If you understand it, you become humble, you become utterly peaceful. You know that you are just a guest here; there is no need to possess anything, there is no need to cling to anything. Everything will be left behind and you will be gone. The tidal wave of death will be coming and will clean the shore of all the signatures that you have been making.
