“The degree of our nearness determines the degree of our affection for them. So, for instance, the son is dearer than wealth, one's own body is dearer than son, the senses are dearer than body, the Prāṇa is dearer than the senses, and the Supreme Ātman is dearer than even the Prāṇa, or life itself.”
~ Swami Krishnananda, The Philosophy of the Panchadasi
