Swami Chidananda

[Guest guest]

" The world can only offer you what it has and what it is -- it cannot offer you

anything beyond. If you are searching for perfect happiness without any

admixture of sorrow or suffering, you are looking for something that does not

exist in this imperfect and limited world. The limited and finite things of the

world are ever changeful and momentary. This world of names and forms outside of

us is not permanent or lasting, but is non-eternal and transitory. Our own

bodies are expressions of the transitory nature of life, as it is the nature of

the body to pass through birth, childhood growth, disease, old age and

eventually death. "
