FLEETING FANTASY, FLEETING FORM, DUST-BOUND DEEDS AS PER NATURE'S NORM--- WHY PROP UP THE PERISHING?


FLEETING FANTASY, FLEETING FORM,  


DUST-BOUND DEEDS AS PER NATURE'S NORM---


WHY PROP UP THE PERISHING?


Infatuation with the body makes one pose for and post self-photographs online. Infatuation with perishable earthly achievements makes one post such online by way of intimation to others and self-advertisement. Glorification of self and the desire for public recognition make one blazon lineage online. It is self everywhere. Where is the consciousness that earthly life and its vanities are ephemeral, that God alone is true, that the icy chill of death will take it away all and reduce everything to dust? The next time you suffer these indiscretions, discriminate, then decide on your course. Lose not invaluable time that was given you to take the holy name and realise your divine nature. Life is fleeting. Nothing will remain. Death will dispossess you of all. Youth and beauty will vanish. This very body you identify yourself as will be burnt to ashes. Whose body, whose glory, whose achievement do you advertise then? Reflect. Realise. 🕉
