 II श्रीराम जय राम जय जय राम II


कबिरा यह जगत कुछ नहीं, खिन खारा खिनमीठ I
काल्ह जो बैठा मन्डपे, आज मसाने दीठ II


Everything is in constant flux on this earth. Nothing keeps the same unchanging shape, and our affections, being attached to things outside us, necessarily change and pass away as they do. Always out ahead of us or lagging behind, they recall a past which is gone or anticipate a future which may never come into being; there is nothing solid there for the heart to attach itself to. Thus our earthly joys are almost without exception the creatures of a moment. Reality is ever in a state of flux. It is constantly changing, and, from the day an individual is born, their perceptions of the world change constantly, until the day they die. In short, reality is never for one moment is same, as humans are always encountering new stimuli, both externally and internally, that changes their perceptions of the world.
Nature is in a state of constant flux. ‘Cold things grow hot, the hot cools, the wet dries, the parched moistens. Everything is constantly shifting, changing, and becoming something other to what it was before. Nature is change. Like a river, nature flows ever onwards. Even the nature of the flow changes. All things pass and nothing stays, and comparing existing things to the flow of a river, he says you could not step twice into the same river.
The world of work is in the constant state of flux. The skills needed to be successful in today's world differ substantially from those of the past.
As material beings, we live in a world of flux. Moreover, we are flux. As physical bodies, we are growing and dying all the time, consuming light and resources to replicate our structure, while shedding matter continuously. Change and death are ubiquitous features of the natural world, for Gods are mortal, humans immortal, living their death, dying their life.


"Kabir says, things of this world are so in constant flux that nothing remains long in the same state. There is nothing certain in this world. Only the 'change' is constant and that is the harsh truth we have to learn to accept. Joy may turn into grief in the blink of an eye."
