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 … - Sarada Devi

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.

The difference between a great soul and an ordinary man is this: the latter weeps while leaving this body, whereas the former laughs. Death seems to him a mere play.
