This craving for health, wealth, long life, and the like -- the so-called good -- is nothing but an illusion. To devote the mind to them in order to secure them only strengthens the delusion.
We have these dreams and illusions in life, and we want to have more of them in the life to come, in heaven. More and more illusion.
Resist not evil. Face it! You are higher than evil.
- Swami Vivekananda,
‘Discipleship’, Talk at San Francisco
