Premanand Maharaj Ji
Why does worldly pleasure look so promising but leave me empty?
Worldly pleasure is a mirage
Worldly happiness is like a mirage: it looks like clear water from afar but is only sand up close. This foolishness does not leave without bhajan, and one should take a saint's shelter.
Seeking happiness in the world is like quenching thirst in sand. Just as a mirage can never quench thirst in sand.
