“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal.” ~Jesus
Or as the Buddha said: “All conditioned things are impermanent.”
Where is your attention the majority of the time? Where your attention is, this is where you place your treasures. Is your attention “on earth”, always looking outward? Or is your attention “in heaven,” the realm of within?
If your attention is always without in the conditional world where all things constantly decay and rust. . . great suffering results. If you can manage to bring more and more of your attention within to the condition-less realm of heaven, where no-thing decays or rusts, you’ll find more and more peace, stillness, freedom.
