THINGS ARE EVER CHANGING

Tile cells and atoms of the body of a man are always changing. The constructive and destructive processes are ever going on in the different systems of the body. Within seven years the body is entirely rebuilt of new atoms. One has then a different body altogether. Still a son says, "This is my lather who lived ten years ago." Is this not false?
An object gives pleasure to a man. The same object gives pain to another. Therefore, pleasure and pain are mental creations.

From "Daily Sayings" by Swami Sivananda (1987-1963). More Informations on Swami Sivananda: on the Website of Divine Life Society, Photographs of Swami Sivananda, German Pages on Swami Sivananda
