Did You Know

The most important thing in life;
Is not food
Is not drink
Is not pleasure
Is not power
But it is life

Food is the servant, life master
Drink is the servant, life master
Pleasure is the servant, life master
Powder is the servant, life master
There is no food in the hereafter
There is no drink in the hereafter
There is no sensual pleasure in hereafter
There is no power in the hereafter
Physiological needs are immaterial
As the Maker is the source of all

Then why love;
Food
Drink
Pleasure
Power
More than
Life!
Food
Drink
Pleasure
Power
Ceases, but life
Never ceases
