83. Ephemeral

Madal:

Chinmoy, do you believe my splendid discovery that everything on earth is ephemeral?

Chinmoy:

Madal, I believe and again I don't believe. If a thing is of ignorance and for ignorance, then it is fleeting and short-lived, but if it is a thing of light and for light, then it is permanent and everlasting.
