“How did I gain from not remembering my earthly self? It allowed me to go deep into realms beyond the worldly without having to worry about what I was leaving behind.

“In everything, no matter what it may be, uniformity is undesirable. Leaving something incomplete makes it interesting, and gives one the feeling that there is room for growth. Someone once told me, "Even when building the imperial palace, they always leave one place unfinished."

They know that your boss might yell at you or cut your pay if you miss this train.” RunningCuttingMissingDespairEmpathyGratefulTrainLeavingShirtsBossCattle Author:Suketu Mehta
