A
millionaire pays income tax with tears in his eyes. A
Headmaster joyfully gives up the furniture and laboratory
appliances of the school when he is transferred to another
place. Why? Because the headmaster knows and believes that
he is only the caretaker, and is not the owner. They are
not attached to these articles, for they know that these
belong to the Government. So too, every one of you must
feel that your family, your house, your fields, your car
are all the Lord’s property. You are just a trustee
and must be ready to give them up without murmur, at a
moment’s notice. Sacrifice does not mean that you
should not attach value to things. You must indeed care for
everything. But remember, that all of them are transient
and the joy they give is very trivial and temporary. Know
their real worth, do not overestimate them and develop
attachment to them.
