Swami Paramananda Quotes about Ignorance

All Death(5)Life(5)Mind(5)Nature(4)Soul(4)Evil(4)God(4)Heart(3)Pleasure(3)Knowledge(3)Ignorance(3)

As long as man is overpowered by the darkness of ignorance, he is the slave of Nature and must accept whatever comes as the fruit of his thoughts and deeds. When he strays into the path of unreality, the Sages declare that he destroys himself; because he who clings to the perishable body and regards it as his true Self must experience death many times.
