The beauty of the material world comes and goes so fast that it’s difficult to catch. The Irises in our backyard garden came into full bloom yesterday and their delicacy and fragrance is practically maddening. However, my appreciation of them is mixed with the lament that their beauty will fade within a few days.
All that I see, taste, or smell; every relationship, and every great accomplishment in this world come with the gnawing feeling that they will soon fade.
However, “no one is satiated by seeing the transcendental body of the Lord because there are always manifestations of newer and newer beauties. The transcendental name, form, qualities, entourage, etc., are all spiritual manifestations, and there is no satiation in chanting the holy name of the Lord, there is no satiation in discussing the qualities of the Lord, and there is no limitation of the entourage of the Lord. He is the source of all and is limitless.” (Srimad-Bhagavatam 1.11.25, Purport)
