Our elders say that we should never seek to live permanently. Never desire that once again we should be born as humans, once again we should be born in the same city, once again we should be born in the same house and so on. In fact, desire of any form is a sheer waste!
We have not come to stay permanently on this earth. Our stay here is purely temporary. Our birth here is just like any other season. This birth is an opportunity given by God to understand the essence of life. One should be careful and not get entangled in these attachments, which are the traps. This birth is a chance to get out of the attachments that we already have created; not to create new ones.
