IS THIS HAPPINESS?

Posted by Teachings of Swami Sivananda on September 21, 2012 at 7:00pm

Do you not see clearly that this world is a mere play of the nerves? Do you not understand that this world of opposites is illusory? You have to depend upon the nerves and senses for your happiness. If they go out of order, you become miserable even though you possess enormous wealth and palatial buildings. Can you call this little illusion pleasure, which depends upon the play of the nerves, real, lasting happiness.? It is merely the itching of the nerves, which only tickles those deluded souls who have completely lost their power of discrimination and understanding.

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
