I have two regrets in life. First, I am overweight. Second, I couldn’t be with the girl that I love the most. Can you please help with the second case? I am already working on the first one!
When you have gone through all that polishing, become hollow and empty, you will see that you come out of the cocoon like a butterfly! This is what knowledge does, it cleanses our mind from all this; cravings, aversions, sorrows and regrets are taken away and you feel alive and fresh again.
We have been on this planet so many times, did so many things, have had so many such lives, so many successes and so many failures. From all that, we have moved forward and we are going forward - unblemished, untouched, untarnished, stronger and stronger! Just know this -- there is no regression, only progress.
