All Things Change, Nothing Perishes

How many persons really persevere to know the self? Most of them delude themselves assuming the world to be real and so become conceited with their worldly successes. But none of these is real.

The respect given by a police constable to a police officer, is accorded to that position and not to the concerned person. A retired police officer does not get that respect, does he? The respect and authority accorded to materialistic stations are false. They hold good only as long as you occupy a position of power. ‘Kudai nizhalil irundhu kunjaram oorndhor nadaimelindhenum nanninum nannuvar’.

Why must you know yourself? So that you understand that you are not this physical form that you assume yourself to be; you are an aspect of the Divine.
