Years-old attachments getting snapped age-old relationships getting swapped, like a free ion travelling to another molecule to capture the sequence of events point me to my own future. Leaving all relationships as never existed they, he went away untouched by what anyone may say. The living ones will also forget after some time, substituting his role with someone else benign. It is involuntary, so appears as a torture, but instructive, as shows me my own future. Is there some relationship that'll endlessly exist, in ever evolving spacetime, that'll still persist? Knowing that for sure to be my fundamental nature, let me invest there, preparing for the tough future. "Be attached to Me, in Me you invest, you'll surely succeed in your fundamental quest." [BG 7.1] "O My friend! with Me is your natural relation, when you understand this, there's no more frustration." [BG 5.25]
