Impermanence of worldly life

Once, a person asked Sri Swamiji, unable to conceal his amazement, “Swamiji! I have read about you and heard about you. One thing that I read about you was most astonishing to me!”
Sri Swamiji asked “Oh! What is it?”
“I read that you used to spend the entire night meditating in solitude in the graveyard”
“Yes! That is true. The graveyard symbolizes the impermanence of everything of this world you hold dear. What is it that amazes you so much about it?”
”Swamiji! Human bodies are cremated there. How can you tolerate such a situation?”
At this point, Sri Swamiji’s face wore a smile “What is so abnormal about that? Are you a vegetarian or non-vegetarian?”
“Non-Vegetarian, of course”
I can tell you that you too, are comfortable in a similar situation. You consume non-vegetarian food, don’t you? Are you not quite comfortable in your kitchen where bodies of animals are burnt while cooking?”
