"It is not a question of East or West. It is a question of understanding."
___________________________________________________________________

"Dukhalayam asavatam. Dukha, dukha means suffering. Alayam, alayam means place. So the creator of this universe, the Supreme Lord, is saying this is a place for suffering. And it is called mrtyuloka, for death. The planets for dying. That means death is unnatural to the eternal soul. But anywhere you live within this material world, you'll die. That is material. Either you live as a Brahma, or live as a small insect ant, you must die. Bhutva bhutva praliyate... death and again take birth, death and again take birth... but these rascals, they do not know. But this is natural, that's all. That if one can stop this death and birth. They have no knowledge. But still, they are big big scholars. They do not know that this movement is for stopping birth and death."
