How to be Free of Attraction to the Fleeting and Perishing

Just as there is "I-ness", which is ever changing, I am eating, I am sleeping, I am going, but my sense of being (existing) is one and the same only. In the deep sleep state that sense of I-ness merges into ignorance; however you the "self" remains. You have the knowledge of both the presence and absence of "I-ness". Right now there is presence of the "sense of I-ness", and in the deep sleep state there is absence of "sense of I-ness." Though there is absence of sense of I-ness, then too you (self) exists. Therefore your existence is independent of the "sense of I-ness." Sense of "I-ness" arises and subsides, but your existence never subsides, it remains at all times. When even your own existence is void of sense of I-ness, then where is the connection with the body? And when the body is also not with us, then how can the wife, son, family be with us? Then I (the self) am separate from them and they are all coming and going (rising and perishing). I know them, they are all within my sphere of knowledge. I (Self) have knowledge of their arising and perishing.

The third point is "Self" was there yesterday, and the same "self" is there today, and at night too "self" was there, then "Self" remains eternally and constantly. Others things do not remain constantly. They arise and perish in front of me. By giving them importance, I take their support, this is a mistake I am making. I know that these are the kind to rise and perish, how can they be my support? How can it be my refuge? When they are separate from me, what support can they give me,? They are all known to me. It is known that in deep sleep there was no knowledge. The knowledge that is there in waking and sleep state, is also known to me. I am the knower of all of these things. I the knower, am separate from all the things that are known. In this there is no doubt, is there? Therefore I am separate from all these. Become steady on this point. At day time, night time, morning-evening whenever you have time, then say that in fact I am not with them and they are not with me. I cannot stay with them even in deep sleep, then how can I stay with them after death? Then how can they stay with me forever ? Therefore, theirs and my relationship it not the kind that will stay forever. One must have first hand knowledge of this, isn't it?

If the attraction for the world does not go away, then do not be concerned, but you have the knowledge that you do not have an eternal relationship with it. There is no doubt in this knowledge. Grasp this point now. Whether attraction leaves or does not leave, do not worry about it, but I have no relationship with them. At first there was no relationship, and later on it will not remains. This is our own experience. The relationships that we have today in this life, with our family, house, money, things, did these relationship exist previously ? And will they remain in the future? Previously there was no relationship with us, later on we will have no relationship with them, and those relationships which are there at present, they too are coming to an end. These point appear to be good to me, therefore I repeat them time and again.
