Vishnu Maya-Sreenath Nāir

“The world is but a show, vain and empty, a mere nothing, bearing the semblance of reality. Set not your affections upon it. [...] Verily I say, the world is like the vapor in a desert, which the thirsty dreameth to be water and striveth after it with all his might, until when he cometh unto it, he findeth it to be mere illusion.”
― Bahá'u'lláh, Gleanings from the Writings of Bahá'u'lláh
