WORLD – A JUGGLER'S TRICK

This world is a play of colors and sounds. This sense-universe is a play of the nerves. It is a false show kept up by the jugglery of Maya, mind and senses. You enjoy sensual pleasures for a period of twenty years when the senses are still strong and vigorous. What is this short evanescent period of twenty years in eternity? What is this despicable, jarring, monotonous sensual life when compared to the eternal and peaceful life in the Self within?

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
