This quote makes the simple act of living a matter of courage. What is the risk? What is there to lose?
The fear is based on misconceptions.
The first misconception is, that we have a face, i.e. an independent identity, that owns and thus has to control its environment.
Handling seems to indicate that a certain distance is being maintained from the "thing" out of fear that it will in some way hurt or contaminate us. There is also a lurking desire to retain control, like keeping the reins and whip in ones hands.
Can we really understand and enjoy a "thing" if we keep it at a distance?Objective scientists and technologists are likely to say "yes".
Being a bhakt I freely embrace. It is easy as I have no face, no hands or legs and so on to call my own and hence I have no fear of losing.
It all belongs to PRABHU
Why only handle? Why not embrace?
After all I and my environment are really one and the same. The environment is an extension of me or I am a product of the environment. Either way we are inseparable.
