How to be Free of Attraction to the Fleeting and Perishing

continued.....

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 remain.   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 points appear to appeal to me, therefore I repeat them time and again.  

At least be attentive to the point that at birth the number years that we had remaining to live,  are not there now, isn't it?   The years remaining are reducing!  Living is going towards dying, union with the world is ending.    At first the body was not there,  later on it will not remain.   Even at present though this body is there, there is constant separation taking place.   You understand this don't you?  

Let the attraction and attachment not leave, but understand this point,  that every moment there is separation taking place.   The more firm you are on this "vivek" power of discretion,  that much it will aid you in leaving it.  That which does not live with you forever,  why to be attached to that thing?  These things cannot stay with you, in this there is no doubt, is there?   Therefore do not worry that this is not going away.  But give weight to the point that in fact we are not with them and they are not with me.   By simply accepting this, the  relationship with the inert is severed.   The relationship that appears to be solid at present and today you say that this is not going away, that inertness is cut off today.  Stay firm and unshakable on this point, that this will not stay with us all the time, then what is the difficulty in getting rid of the sense of mine-ness (mamta) with it?
