No, no matter how high you fly, you cannot make a home in the sky. You must come down to earth. Earth is where you belong, don't ever forget this fact. Sky is abstract, infinite and from your childhood you have been looking up at the sky. You have always had a fantasy of having a home there; to fly like a bird and build your nest there. This is a fantasy. You may choose to be fooled by your own fantasies. But, once the fantasy is over and you are awake, you will have to face the facts of life.
The heights, the heavens are so tempting. You have been led to believe in fairies, in castles in the air, in heavens with damsels going around bare-breasted, willing to serve you, to kiss you. Shake off this illusion! Come back.
You cannot own the skies, enjoy the heights but do not believe them. You cannot be there all the time. You must come down. Isn't it enough that the skies give you all the sunshine that you need, all the rain that you want? and you want to possess, to own the skies? No, heaven is not yours. Heaven is an illusion. This earth, this gross earth where your feet are is real.
You can live without skies, without a roof over your head. But, you cannot live without earth, without a piece of ground to stand upon. You, who are under an illusion that the skies can be owned, high time you get yourself disillusioned- no, the skies cannot be owned. And, if you must believe, believe in the earth beneath your feet, This is more practical.
