This ordinary life is the only life there is.
And this ordinary life needs no planning – it is so simple.
Only cunning things need planning because they are so complex.
You have to rehearse many times, you have to think about this and that, and you have to manipulate many strings.
And then to nobody can ever be certain that you will succeed because things are so complex, and for those complex things, there are many competitors.
If you want to be great in the eyes of the world, if you are seeking the good opinion of others, then you are in a very competitive madhouse. Many are doing the same. Whatsoever you do, you can never rely on it succeeding, and even if it succeeds, it brings nothing.
It brings only more projects, more plans. If you earn money, by the time you have earned it the desire has arisen for more money, so you invest that money to earn more money and again you invest and go on investing. By the time death arrives you have much money and an unlived life.
