There is constant change in our body, constant change in our mind and thoughts, and constant change in our everyday life. Therefore, change is ever-present. Now, it depends on how you see the change. If the changes are temporary and in your favor, then you are happy. If the changes are temporary and not in your favor, you are unhappy. Thus it is said, manomātra jagatā—the world appears before you according to how your mind projects it. Wise are they who accept their ignorance. They are the wise ones who know that they do not know. Wise are they who search for the solution within themselves. Ego is also a form of ignorance, and the ego is so big, the ignorance is so vast, that it does not accept. But there is no question of accepting or not accepting. It will change, and you did not think it would change. That was your ignorance. Anything you begin will not remain in that form, and it cannot be like that. It can become very boring or very hard. Therefore, accept the changes in any form: physical, emotional, mental, intellectual, social, familial, relational—many, many things. The wise are they who simply observe the changes. Change is like the flowing of water in a river. You are sitting on the bank, and different articles are flowing in the river, and you are just observing. Some flowers are flowing, tree leaves are flowing, a piece of paper is flowing, and so on. You are not crying, "Oh God, why is this changing? Why change this?" So life is a river that is constantly flowing. It is said water is good when it is flowing. If water remains stagnant, it will become dirty or smelly; that water will be spoiled. Pāṇī to chalata bhalā—therefore, it is good that water is flowing. Pada gandela hoj, sādhō to ramta bhala, dāg na lage koj. And also, the sands are good that they are traveling; they should not stay in one place. So our life is also that river. This river has two banks, and the banks have curves. The water does not have the curves; these curves are the curves of our destinations. The time comes, and suddenly you change. So it is said, the river has the curves, not the water. One bank of the river is called happiness, and the other bank is called unhappiness. Our life is passing between these two banks, happiness and unhappiness. That water cannot change; the water's nature is just to flow through. Whether the rocks are muddy or there are thorny bushes, it does not matter—clean or dirty, water just flows through. Therefore, we have observed many changes in the last four months, and many changes are waiting. You will change also. You have changed a lot, but in a better way. And someone had a change that was not good, but that is only temporary. You will be happy for that, that it has changed.
