Bageshwar Dham Sarkar
Why does the death of my own hurt so much more than news of other deaths?
Grief comes from calling someone ours
We feel grief for the one we have taken as our own, not for death itself. If we take the world as ours we will stay sad, and if we take Bhagwan as our own we will be happy.
Grief comes when someone of our own dies. We grieve for whom we take as ours. If we take the world as ours we will stay sad; if we take Bhagwan as ours we will be happy.
