SUCH IS LIFE

Worldly life is like a dream, always troubled with diseases and the like. It is like a castle in the air. It is only a fool who runs after it.
Life is waning at each rising and setting of the sun. Even though you see others dying and growing old, yet you never wake up from your own dream of tile vanity of worldly life. Each day is like the other, each night is like the other, and yet foolish man runs after worldly enjoyments and sees not the passing of time.

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
