“The past is like a relay runner who carries the baton of fleeting happiness,” you argued. “He only carries it for a stretch. But I’m searching for something more lasting. I seek inner Joy.

When they visit, we’re contented for awhile, until they eventually depart leaving our hearts in a void.” An excerpt from the ‘Diary of a Seeker, Tales & Anecdotes of a Life Student,’ Page 145 of “From The Banks Of The Soul”
