“Remember you do not know how much time you have left in this world. … You never know when you’re going to give up your body. What are you doing with your time? Do you waste it by worrying over nonsense or trying to change person, place or thing, or trying to get your own way, manipulation? You’re only fooling yourself.
You must try your best to let go of this world, if you want to make spiritual progress. By letting go of this world I don’t mean you have to go live in a cave and ignore everybody, I mean mentally. This all begins mentally. You have to mentally make the correction within yourself.”
~ Robert Adams (20th century American Advaita mystic)
