I cannot go on carrying my furniture!” And the old man said, “So am I a tourist for only just a few days, and then I will be gone, just as you will be gone.” This world is just a pilgrimage — of great significance, but not a place to belong to, not a place to become part of Remain a lotus leaf, as Kabir says.
