Krishna in a Carrier

The key to happiness is the reduction of desires.

Free - wee statue of a flute player.

Pick up times - anytime today or tomorrow or message and we can agree on a time/day.

Perform your obligatory duty because action is better than inaction.

'Hi can I collect this? Where are you located? I can come if you are close to me.'

Address given – 'Any good?'

Do everything you have to do, but not with ego, not with lust, not with envy but with love, compassion, humility and devotion.

'Yes, can come tomorrow evening at 6pm if that suits.'

'Lovely, I will see you tomorrow at 6pm.'

Among all kind of killers, time is the ultimate because time kills everything.

'Perfect. I will give you a heads up when I start towards you tomorrow.'

A man is made by his belief. As he believes so he becomes.

'Hi, it seems I will be a bit late from work. Can I do 8pm? If it is too late for you feel free to leave it outside. Sometime after 7pm. I will collect when I go past your place.'

'Hi, that’s no bother. I will put it on my doorstep in an Iceland carrier bag.'

He who has no attachments can really love others. For his love is pure and divine.

'If it’s peeing down I’ll keep it inside so give me a knock.'

'Oh that’s fab. Thanks a mil.'

Happiness is of the soul. The soul can never be cut to pieces. Nor burned by fire, nor moistened by water or be withered by wind.

'On my way on the bus, will be there soon. Will send you confirmation once I collect.'

'That’s lovely. It’s just outside the door.'

There are three gates to self-destruction and hell: Lust, Anger and Greed.

'Hi, picked it up just now. Thanks very much. You have a good evening. 🙂'

'Thank you. Hope you like it.'

'Yes, it’s a statue of the Hindu God Lord Krishna. It is of religious significance to me. Hence taking the bus to come and collect. Thanks again.'

Those who worship other gods with faith and devotion als0 worship me, even if they do not observe the usual forms. I am the object of worship, it’s enjoyer and Lord.

'That’s lovely. Tbh we just bought it in Durham from a market stall because it was beautiful. We didn’t know the significance. I am delighted you have taken it.'

You came here empty-handed and so will you leave. What is yours today belonged to someone else yesterday. And tomorrow someone else will call it his.
