Just as it comes, it goes;
you cannot hold on to it,
you cannot cling to it.
The breeze comes like a whisper.
It does not make noise,
it does not make proclamations;
it comes In very silently,
you cannot hear it-
suddenly it is there.
And that's how God comes,
truth comes,bliss comes,
love comes, they all come in a whisperlike manner,
not with trumpets and drums.
They suddenly come without
even having an appointment,
without even asking you,
“May I come in?"-
they just suddenly come.
And that's how the breeze comes:
One moment it is not there,
another moment it is.

And the second thing:
Just as it comes, it goes;
you cannot hold on to it,
you cannot cling to it.
Enjoy it while it is there,
and when it goes, let it go.
Be thankful that it came.
Don't hold any grudge,
don't complain.
When it goes,
it goes-nothing can be done about it.

But we are all clingers.
When love comes,
we are very happy,
but when it goes we are very hurt.
That is being very unconscious, ungrateful - misunderstanding.
Remember, it comes in one way,
now it is going in the same way.
It did not ask to come...
why should it ask now if it can go?
It was a gift from the beyond, mysterious,
and it has to go in the same mysterious way.
If one takes life as a breeze,
then there is no clinging,
no attachment, no obsession,
one simply remains available,
and whatever happens is good.
