CLINGING IS UGLY, CLINGING IS VIOLENT
CLINGING IS UGLY, CLINGING IS VIOLENT. The more you cling to life, the more you will become incapable.
For example: YOU LOVE A WOMAN, YOU CLING TO HER. The more you cling, the more you will force the woman to escape from you -- because your clinging will become a burden on her. The more you try to possess her, the more she will think of how to get free, how to escape from you.
And I tell you, LIFE IS A WOMAN; DON'T CLING TO IT. It follows those who don't cling to it. It comes in abundance to those who don't cling to it. If you cling, the very clinging puts life off, your beggarliness puts life off.
Be an emperor, be a sovereign. Live life but don't cling to it, don't cling to anything. CLINGING MAKES YOU UGLY AND VIOLENT. Clinging makes you a beggar; and life is for those who are emperors, not for those who are beggars. IF YOU BEG YOU WILL NOT GET ANYTHING. Life gives much to those who never beg. Life becomes a constant blessing for those who remain unclinging to it. Live it, enjoy it, celebrate it, but don't be miserly, don't cling to it.
