Guest guest Posted October 21, 2007 Report Share Posted October 21, 2007 " Everyone uses words without understanding their inner meaning. This is the main cause of his ignorance. Worldly pleasures are transient, whereas Brahmananda is eternal. The type of joy that man derives out of worldly comforts and conveniences is Maanavananda (human joy). Hundred times more than Maanavananda is Indrananda: hundred times more than Indrananda is Devendrananda. Hundred times more than Devendrananda is Devananda. Hundred times more than Devananda is Brihaspathiananda Hundred times more than Brihaspathiananda is Prajapathiananda. Hundred times more than Prajapathiananda is Brahmananda. This is the true measure of Brahmananda. Such an expression as Brahmananda is used in common parlance to mean worldly happiness. "Brahmanandam Paramasukhadam...,"only Brahmananda confers supreme comfort. All the comforts relating to body and mind are like passing clouds. - From Swami's Sports Meet Discourse in 2000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
