Our body is like a candle's wax, constantly shape-shifting.
Our mind is like a candle's flame, constantly flickering.
At no two points in time is the wax or flame the same. Changing from moment to moment,there is no fixed "candle" and "flame";there is only "melting" and "burning".
At no two points in time is our body or mind the same. Changing from moment to moment,there is no fixed "body" and "mind";there is only "ageing" and "thoughts rising and falling".
When we want a candle to burn on,we pass its flame from its dying wax to a new candle. The new candle melts on and the flame burns on -a continuation of constant change.
When we want the body to live on,we pass our consciousness from our dying body to a new body. The new body takes life, and consciousness thrives on -a continuation of constant change.
What do you burn for... in this life?
What do you burn for... life after life?
