Passage 23

In English

and his aspect of Love are known to the citizens of . He is one who has eternal youth. We should understand the significance of saying that he is eternally young. By saying that he is eternally young, we should not imply that he has a young and youthful body forever. This should convey to us the meaning that he has no anxiety and that he has a smiling disposition always. This kind of bliss and happiness also gives happiness to one’s body and bodily health. It is in this context, that it has been said that happiness is union with God. Either for the decay of the body or for the ageing of the body, our own conduct is responsible; and for our conduct, our desires are responsible. For the sake of desires which are connected with the world, we should not use this body. Pain and pleasure are like clouds which move away from our heart. So, all these desires should be regarded as clouds.
