The world is going on because not all can be free of desires. People with desires are born again and again.
I tell you one thing. If you want peace of mind, do not find fault with others. Rather learn to see your own faults. Learn to make the whole world your own. No one is a stranger, my child; this whole world is your own.
The happiness of the world is transitory. The less you become attached to the world, the more you enjoy peace of mind.
The whole world is a dream; even this (the waking state) is a dream... What you dreamt last night does not exist now.
Everything, husband, wife, or even the body, is only illusory. These are all shackles of illusion. Unless you can free yourself from these bondages, you will never be able to go to the other shore of the world.
This world is moving around like a wheel. That indeed is the last birth in which one gets completely rid of all desires.
No doubt, God alone has become all these objects, animate and inanimate, but in the relative world all beings act and suffer according to their past Karma and innate tendencies.
Does one get faith by mere studying of books? Too much reading creates confusion. The Master used to say that one should learn from the scriptures that God alone is real and the world illusory.
