He mentioned that whatever comes, let it come, and whatever goes, let it go, as it is written in the Shiv Puran, but it is extremely hard for him to do. His note can be read as :

"Whatever comes let it come, whatever stays, let it stay. Whatever goes, let it go. As a Shiv Bhakt, says Shiv Puran and move on. He'll take care, very hard to do."
