It is natural to be tired on account of the body. Although the body and mind are two different entities, they are interdependent. When the mind feels tired, the reaction is felt by the body; when the body feels tired, so does the mind. Only the soul is aloof from both. All this feeling is done by the ego. The "I" does not feel content; that means "I am unhappy," "I am in trouble." All this is the ego. Now this limited "I" takes all that is unimportant as important, and vice versa. There is a world of difference between importance and necessity. Bodily needs and comforts are unimportant but necessary. Spirituality, which is important but externally unnecessary, is taken as unimportant. See how unimportant the external is. Quetta was a flourishing town and within five minutes it was destroyed. This is unimportant. If it were of real importance, the Infinite would not have it destroyed. Look at Spain. All that was thought to be of importance was destroyed. All illusion comes and goes, but the soul remains unchanged. What is meant by God-realization is to actually experience this important thing — that the soul is eternal.

Apparently being that close to God results in your getting a bad haircut and a giant honker...
Isn't that Yanni's dad?
"B" is for Bolshevik...'and you ain't seen nothing yet'?
Baba was no Bolshie, but his anti-elitist attitudes would land him in a world of scorn today.
Yep, neither is Ron Jeremy...but the shiksas are made happy along with the shabbos goy. The money's comin'...hook or by crook. (interest-free, of course).
Did you know he was married to Dinah Washington?
Is that for real, Dak?
Why would I lie about Dinah Washington?

Sure it wasn't Dinah Shore?
I tried to Youtube her. No go. What a difference a day makes....
