Realise and talk

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends,

Here is a story from Sankara Vijayam:-

Once there was a sage,

Who used to say "Sivoham, Sivoham"

I am he the lord, I am he the lord.

His disciple great , hankering to be a saint,

Also repeated "Sivoham, Sivoham"

I am he the LOrd, I am he the LOrd.

One day the sage went ,

While on his rounds,

To the black smith's shop.

Asked he for a glass of moltern iron,

And drank it with mirth and joy.

Asked he for one more glass,

And gave he to the disciple great.

But disciple with a sheepish grin,

Cried, No I cannot drink it, Sir.

The sage i a soothing voice told,

So should you.

Not repeat anything that you do'nt believe.

With best wishes. Ramachander
