'There is a time when toys are treasures. But the child who cries for a toy comes to an age when he gives it away. And at every step in a man's evolution the values of power and position and wealth change in his eyes. And so as he evolves there arises in him a spirit of renunciation which may be called the Spirit of God. Gradually he recognizes the real value of those fair and lovely qualities of the spirit that change not.'

Hello friend

I have had this happen in my life. Yet there seems to be still objects in my life and situations that i find have value worthy of affection.....

I think thay i am just at the stage of admitting it and recognizing what may be holding me back spiritual progress. In this recognition comes the awareness of how we are hurt by worldly people and situations. We begin to understand how we set ourselves up for our own suffering.
