JNANA VAHINI (The Stream of Eternal Wisdom) by BHAGAWAN SRI SATHYA SAI BABA This physical frame, built out of earth, fire, water, wind and ether break up into its components, as all built up things do! Only ignorance will take it as Real. Only the uneducated will attach value to it, as permanent and eternal. Did this body exist before birth? Does it persist after death? No. It appears and disappears, with an interval of existence! Therefore, it has no absolute value. It is to be treated only as the cloud or the shadow. As a matter of fact, this physical world is like the mango tree raised by the magician’s wand, the product of the trickster known as Mind. Just as clay took the form of pot and pan and plate and after an interval becomes once again clay, shapeless clay, so too, all this is the formless Sath-Chith-Ananda; the Niraakaara (formless infinite) appearing with Aakaara (one with form) for some time, on account of the delusion and ignorance of the Mind. Some things are useful, some are not, all because of this Name and Form.
