Human life is full off the play of samskaras, tendencies developed by repeated actions.
When we see everything in life as a game, we will be equally joyous when falling as we are when rising. If we can fully understand this – if we can see life as swinging on a swing – we will never fall apart when failure comes our way.
Year’s end is neither an end nor a beginning but a going on, with all the wisdom that experience can instill in us.
I exhort you also to take part in the great combat, which is the combat of life, and greater than every other earthly conflict.
This new life is endless, and even after my physical death it will be kept alive by those who live the life of complete renunciation of falsehood, lies, hatred, anger, greed and lust and who, to accomplish all this, do no lustful actions, do no harm to anyone.
