🕉 Words of Anandamayi Ma ❤

The delight in the things of this world,

in sense objects,

is fleeting indeed.

It does not last;

it is impermanent.

But where God and God alone stands revealed,

there is no such thing as impermanence.

Your attention is directed towards the world, not towards the Eternal;

you are identified with that which is transient in constant flux.

What is revealed thereby?

The perishable.

In the perishable there is no Self-revelation.

How can Reality, true Being, be in that?

For the destruction of destruction has not yet come about.

The perishable must perish.
