In this evanescent panorama of life all things and objects are subject to transmutation and dissolution. The Lord alone is real with whom we are eternally united.
Do not seek to find peace and freedom in external circumstances of life, because true freedom is of the mind only, when you are in tune with God, who dwells within you. Let the knocks and hits of life turn you more and more towards God, so that you can become impervious to all kinds of outside attacks upon you. Take the name of the Lord with all strength and faith. Repeat it breathlessly, as it were, at all times, whether you are at your bath, in the kitchen, on the road or in the office. In this, lies the way of your escape. Know this fact once for all and take refuge in the Name.
God is a living Reality. He is more real than the ephemerÂal interests and things in which man is usually involved. Man's craving for earthly achievements shuts him out from the recognition of the immortal Truth of his existence. He is so deeply caught in pleasures which are gained through mere sense perception and touch that he becomes blind to the exalted experience of eternal Bliss and Peace....
So, O beloved soul, unless you link your life with the divine Author of your being, your life is in vain.
