The soul is sustained by the Supreme Being

[Guest guest]

The soul is sustained by God, by the Supreme Being,

by God Himself. The body can be sustained by a cup

of tea and food, but the food of the soul is God Himself;

it cannot be satisfied with anything less. It wants only

that. And so it goes on crying, and until that is got it

won't become quiet. And though body can be satisfied

with little things, the soul cannot be satisfied with

anything but God. Only when it comes in contact with

God, it loses itself. And when it has contacted Him and

has realised it, it feels happy then and, only then.
