Simplified Meaning:
This quote suggests that we shouldn't get too attached to physical things or material possessions. Imagine holding a handful of sand. If you grip it tightly, the sand slips through your fingers. But if you hold it gently, the sand stays in your hand. This is how we should treat our belongings and wealth. In life, things can change quickly, and what we own today might be gone tomorrow. By not clinging too tightly to these things, we can adapt more easily to changes and focus on what truly matters, like our relationships and experiences. So, when something doesn't go our way or we lose something, it won't hurt as much, and we can move forward more gracefully.
