Man wanders all the time, throughout his life, in search of joy, blissful peace, but remains dismayed and astrayтАж. Acquisition of hoards of wealth, worldly comforts, good health, delicious food, palatial house, vehicles, servants, gorgeous cloths, beauty, beloved family, faithful friends, supporters all around, powers, prestige, name and fame, securityтАж., and what not he looks for? People who lack in any of these strive for their possession; those, who already have, try to possess more with new passionsтАж
This scenario is like that of the tale of the swan (flamingo), which is hunting for the pearl since Ages, but finds nothing but a drop of dewтАж Why? Because, it did not really search for the pearl; did not even turn his face in the direction of the grand Ocean тАЬMansarovarтАЭ where the pearl is hidden in the depthsтАж It did not gather the courage and strength to fly so longтАж Short-sighted intellect and pleasure-hungry mind advised it тАУ тАЬwhat is the guarantee that you will find that unseen тАЬMansarovarтАЭ; and who knows whether there will really be any pearl and you would trace itтАЭ so it satisfied itself with the shining drops of dew; licked it and thought it has quenched the thirstтАж; it flew for sometime and the thirst recurred with greater intensity.
The cycle continuedтАж This is what happens with most of us who keep searching for тАШimmortalтАЩ joy in the mirage of perishable world, keep accumulating more of what gives only a momentary pleasure but keeps us away from the sight of real blissтАж
