![“This is indeed the nature of worldly life, isn’t it? We anticipate happiness in old age. But in old age we develop severe back pain, which will not let us sit peacefully. That is why people are searching for moksha [ultimate liberation]; once we reach our own place, there will be no problems, right?” quote by Dada Bhagwan](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/d23/dada-bhagwan-31_happiness_this-is-indeed-the-nature-of-worldly-lif_201938.jpg)
