Guest guest Posted October 20, 2002 Report Share Posted October 20, 2002 It is true wisdom to pluck out Before they grow too strong the weeds Of lust and anger and greed, and keep The mind serene and self-contained Like a vast ocean deep and calm Untroubled by a single ripple Raised by any wind. It is true wisdom to restrain The mind from flowing out into Any of the senses five, The home of every sorrow and pain, And to contain and keep it still, Like a once-roaring ocean lying Now becalmed and tranquil. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sri Muruganar: The Garland of Guru's Sayings, 915-916 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
