Arjuna, it's like this: Everything starts as nothing, then it's here, then it's gone again. No biggie. Why you gotta be so sad?

Commentary

Yo, Arjuna, it's like this: This whole physical body thing? It's totally sus. It's built from these five elements, right? You only see it when they're all vibing together. Then, poof, death hits, and it's all back to the source. No cap. So, like, it's only *real* for a hot minute. All those fam connections—son, friend, teacher, fam, wife, sibling—they're all built on this temporary body thing, all based on attachment and delusion. It's like, people come and go, in and out of your life, just like those planks in a river or peeps at a hostel. This world is a giant hostel, fam. People link up, then they bounce. There's no body at the start, no body at the end. Even when you see it, it's all an illusion, a total mirage. If it's not real at the start and end, it ain't real in the middle either. Get it? If you're vibing with this whole concept, you won't be all emo about anything.
