Eliot, _Four Quartets_ Namaste Dharma, You quoted 'How to know God', Patanjali by C Ishherwood and Swami Prabhavananda. I recalled yesterday where I got the Indra and pig poetry idea.

I don't know what book you are referring to, but I don't think it's the GIta or the Yoga Sutras. > Describing illusion and how beautiful it is, that is nice but unless >one is realised to the point of seeing all is one, then it is just >creating more golden chains.....ONS Tony.
