People suffer because they have unreasonable desires, they pine to fulfill them, and they fail. They attach too much value to the objective world. It is only when attachment increases that you suffer pain and grief. If you look upon nature and all created objects with the insight derived from the Inner Vision, then attachment will slide away, though effort will remain; you will also see everything much clearer and with a glory suffused with Divinity and splendour. Attachment to nature has limits, but attachment to the Lord that you develop when the inner eye opens, has no limit. Enjoy that Reality. The Lord is the Immanent Power in everything. The moon is reflected in a pot, provided it has water; so too, the Lord can be clearly seen in your heart, provided you have the water of love (prema) in it. When the Lord is not reflected in your heart, it only means you don’t love Him enough.
