There are no differences [such as these] in Self, but only for the worthless, unreal body. Sadhu Om: The five verses in this concluding chapter all record actual sayings of Sri Bhagavan. Since Self-abidance is itself the foremost dharma and the source of all dharmas, and since the various other dharmas or duties enjoined according to the different castes, lineages and religions exist only for the body and not for the Self, those who abide as Self need not perform any other dharma. Guru Vachaka Kovai - tr: Sadhu Om & Michael James from www.davidgodman.org ~~~~ the desert flower is vicki(viorica) i was thinking lately to use a most impersonal name in my postings and that's what resonated with me ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Check out the new Front Page. www.
