“Live in the world like an ant. The world contains a mixture of Truth and untruth, sugar and sand. Be an ant and take the sugar.
“Again, the world is a mixture of milk and water, the bliss of God-Consciousness and the pleasure of sense enjoyment. Be a swan and drink the milk, leaving the water aside.
“Live in the world like a waterfowl. The water clings to the bird, but the bird shakes it off. Live in the world like a mudfish. The fish lives in the mud, but its skin is always bright and shiny.
“The world is indeed a mixture of truth and make believe. Discard the make-believe and take the Truth.”
-Sri Ramakrishna
