An old
grandfather of seventy was asked by his seven-year old
grandchild, "Grandpa! How old are you?" and the
old man replied, "Two!" The child was struck with
wonder and looked a picture of doubt. The old man replied,
"I have spent only the last two years in the company of
the Lord, until then I was plunged in the marshland of
pleasure seeking."
Only the years that you have lived
with the Lord have to be counted as life, the rest are not
worth counting.
Know that all this wealth, property and
fame are but for a fleeting moment. Develop attachment for
the Lord, who will be with you wherever you go.
- Sri Sathya Sai Baba (Divine Discourse, Oct
10, 1964.)
