Guest guest Posted May 19, 2001 Report Share Posted May 19, 2001 Namaste All, 'When told that all sense-experience is, in the last analysis, painful, the pig-people become scornful and angry. They find such a philosophy cowardly and lacking in spirit. One should not be afraid of pleasure, they exclaim; one should seize the moment and enjoy it, whatever the consequences. They quote approvingly from their poets,(for many of the finest poets write pig-poetry), saying that 'one crowded hour of glorious life is worth an age without a name.' and Patanjali, is a timid old kill-joy grandmother.' P91 re #18. Swami Prabhavanada and Cristopher Isherwood. OM Namah Sivaya.....Tony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
