Nothing lasts in this ephemeral world.

[Guest guest]

Swami looks at your inner feelings and not the outer form or other qualifications etc. For Swami, all the Jeevas in the world are His own reflections. Also in the philosophy of Monism or Advaita, there is no second principle except the SELF or ATMA. As the waves and foams are part of the great ocean and contain water from the same ocean. They rise from the ocean and play with the wind and subsides in the same ocean. We only misconstrue them as separate from the Ocean. They can not exist away from the ocean. Born in the ocean, it subsides in the ocean itself. Hence all this phenomenal world is nothing but the "Self". Wherever we see, there is only the "Self". We can not go beyond the Self at any time. The child in the lap of the mother cries for the mother without knowing that its mother is holding it in her bosam. Hence, realise the futility of this mundane existence and the material acquisitions. None or nothing will last. Everything will go back to the elements. Why desire for more and more. Stop. Have a ceiling on desires as directed by Swami. Sairam.
