Pearls of Wisdom - 20



"Feelings of separation are due to illusory affection and nothing else, and thus you should give up your anxiety, which is due to ignorance of the eternal self. You are simply thinking, 'How will these poor helpless creatures continue to exist without me?' One's gross material body is under control of kala (time), karma and three gunas (modes of material nature). Since it is already in the jaws of serpent so to speak: how can it give protection to others?"
