' Body and Soul '...

The soul is sustained by God, by the Supreme Being, by God Himself. The body can be sustained by a cup of tea and food, but the food of the soul is God Himself; it cannot be satisfied with anything less.. It wants only that.. And so it goes on crying,, and until that is got, it won't become quiet.. And though body can be satisfied with little things,, the soul cannot be satisfied with anything but God.. Only when it comes in contact with God,, it loses itself... And when it has contacted Him, and has realized it,, it feels happy then, and only then. ---------------- Swami Krishnananda ` ` ` ` ` Facets of Spirituality Complied by S.
