Guest guest Posted September 2, 1999 Report Share Posted September 2, 1999 >From our list: 100 verses on renunciation: Verse #44: Seeing night follow day, in vain do creatures run on perseveringly, busy with the various activities set in action by their individual resolves. Alas, through infatuation we feel no shame at being befooled by samsara (life) with occupations in which the same particulars repeat themselves! Swami Madhavananda comments: The idea is: How profoundly deluded by desire we live. Never growing old itself (desire), it makes all things look fresh and new; otherwise, no worldly pursuit would have any real novelty. They are as stale as the uniform appearance of day and night following each other. Edith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
