of existence which lends reality to man is nothing but a mirage. And the
fountain of life does not contain that water which I search.
The temptations of the world have been left behind because they are empty of the Thing that I desire.
An ant will run after a piece of chalk for as long as it thinks that it is a lump of sugar, but after it has touched it even once it does not remain close to it for even a moment, because the sugar which it sought is not to be found in the chalk.
Man loses his interest in the temptations of the world when he discovers that they do not contain That Thing which he desires.

"Meri aankhon ne hai dekhaa jalva-haa ka rang hai
Phir kissee noore nazar ki jaan fizaayi kyaa rahi"
Mine eyes have seen the Glory of Light Divine,
The Beauty of the world can have no attraction for me now.
