Who is going to stay here?
Millions of people have been here before you.
Not even their names can be remembered.
They were all guests.
And millions of people will be here after we are gone.
Just don't use this planet like a waiting room at a railway station. Because I have been travelling for years, I've been staying in numerous waiting rooms, witnessing the strange scene that people are throwing their banana peels just on the floor and putting their chewing gum on the seats.
If you ask them: "What are you doing?", they answer: "This is only a waiting room. This is not anybodys home. And who cares? Just ten minutes more and my train is coming."
It is true your train is coming, but your train is bringing other passengers who will be staying in this waiting room with your banana peels and chewing gum. You are only a guest. Leave this place a little more beautiful, a little more human, a little more loveable, a little more fragrant for those unknown guests who will be following you.
Nobody belongs here, but for the moment we are here and for the moment we have to be here totally, intensely. We have to make this moment as beautiful as possible. We have to live our life like a dance, so when we leave, anybody who comes after us finds, that the people who have been here were not ordinary people. They have left flowers and fragrants. They have left the echos of their songs and their dances.They have left their footprints in pure 24 carat gold.
It is not unfortunate that we are guests. It is a great opportunity that the planet, the existence, has been so generous, so kind, so loving, so accepted, that it has welcomed you to be here.
Leave your mark. You may be gone but your laughter can remain behind. You may be gone, but your dance can remain behind. You may be gone, but the way you lived will go on, creating it's own vibrations and they will remind the people of the futures with gratitude, that they are inheritants of a great planet and of a great race of human beings.
