"You can run, but every shelter will decay. And the next one. And in the end the body itself. Rise higher — and where others see chaos, you will see a perfectly orchestrated symphony."
When anxiety rises, we look for somewhere to move: another flat, another city, a calmer job. It feels like it will finally let go there. For a while it does. Then the walls of that shelter start to crumble — illness, someone leaving — and we go looking for the next one. Śrī Prem Prayojan Prabhu says it plainly: you can run, but every shelter will decay, and so will the next, and in the end the body itself will decay. Everything here is in a state of decay — that is why there is no peace here. And right there he turns it around: rise to the spiritual plane of consciousness and you see peace and harmony everywhere. Where others see chaos, you will hear a perfectly orchestrated symphony conducted by the Lord.
Every shelter wears out. Look for peace one floor up.
