Life seems so stable to us, but it is really very unstable! You are sitting at your pc, everything is arranged around you,... Your job, your family, your loved ones, ... Everything and everyone around. Your worries are maybe the silliest things like losing a game, or how the net is slow!
But in just a minute many things can happen and turn everything upside down for you! We should not worry for such unexpected events of course. How we can live if we do? One of the movies by the famous Japanese director Kurasawa is an example of this. "I Live In Fear" is about a man who wants to move to a safer place in the world because of the real danger of Atomic Bombs, and his family and friends thinks he is crazy and put him in trial. It would be the same with us for sure if we feel insecure in our life that way!
All of us, however, know that life is so so unstable! We cannot say if tomorrow our life will be the same, but at the same time, we live our life like we will never lost any of our belongings, our loved ones and things.
My point here is that "How do we dare to attach to so many people and things we know we may lose in a moment or less, by some unexpected happening? Why don`t we try to live a life with less attachments to be more secure?"

My God!
My God,
who is the one who has come before Thee
seeking hospitality,
and whom Thou hast not received hospitably?
Who is the one who has dismounted at Thy door
hoping for magnanimity,
and to whom Thou hast not shown it?
Is it good that I come back from Thy door,
turned away in disappointment,
while I know of no patron qualified by beneficence but Thee?
How should I have hope in other than Thee,
when the good - all of it - is in Thy hand?
How should I expect from others,
when Thine are the creation and the command?
Should I cut off my hope for Thee,
when Thou hast shown me of Thy bounty
that for which I have not asked?

What an incredible soul!
Surfing around the net I run into Chamran`s notes during his fruitful incredible life. I have read most of it when I was a teenage and I have always loved it. Therefore, it was irresistible for me and I spent all the night swimming in his words! What an incredible soul! I could but swim in his words and in my tears! Human being have such a power and still live such a silly life? I feel ashamed of myself! Where he is and where I am! How a man can live as a soul, free from all mundane desire! Just full of love, like a burning candle all his life burnt to enlighten others. And it is more painful than you see there are few people in the world who can even understand his words, who have the least requirement to be enlightened by such a heavenly candle ...

Words of wisdom
Following is words of wisdom put in comments by a deep reader. I put it here for all readers to benefit:
There might not be any corner of the world for you to belong to, but there is a world twice as big as this utter world within you, which you belong to, and also the whole of it belongs to you... It might feel disappointing when you think that there is no place in the world you will ever miss, but it can be much more joyful, if you consider that there's no point in this cage of the world that can stop you,and deviate your thoughts from what you want,... You have established your own rules in your own territory, you're the queen of your own domain...
