Thou shalt no doubt live in Me alone hereafter. 8 . "If thou art unable to fix thy thought steadily on Me, then by yoga of constant practice do thou seek to reach Me, O Dhananjaya! 9 . "If thou art not equal to practise either, then be thou intent on doing actions for My sake. Even doing actions for My sake, thou shalt attain perfection. 10 . "If thou art unable to do even this, then take refuge in devotion to Me, abandoning the fruits of all actions, self-controlled. 11 . "Better indeed is knowledge than practce; than knowledge is meditation more esteemed; than meditation the abandonment of the fruits of actions. On abandonment, peace follows immediately." 12 . ____________________ _______________________ I shall remain 'off-duty' from today till Jan 2nd. I wish all of you a very Happy End to Year 2000, and a Bright Beginning to Year 2001. shrii kR^ishhNaarpaNam astu . Regards, s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
