Losses & Gains
The moment you take your very first breath, it is guaranteed that there will be a last;
but lamenting over what occurs after death is like trying to rewrite the past.
It is neither the first, nor even the last, that matters at the end of the day;
but it is every breath you take in between that matters when you pass away.
As your flesh turns to ash and your bones into dust, it is only your spirit that remains;
it is your karmic condition that exists after death, the sum total of your losses and gains.
And for those who’ve spent a lifetime of savings while seeking some instant reward,
their karmic account will undoubtedly be empty, for they spent more than they could afford.
Deposits and credits, return on investments, each one producing monetary success;
and the guiding principle for rewards and retribution is the strict law of cause and effect.
It is therefore pointless to question your loss, to lament over the source of your pain;
for each obstacle you encounter is an effect of your causes, the product of your losses & gains.
