Guest guest Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 143 The burden of the learning borne By folk who dally in fleeting flesh Does not serve to starve the ego Or draw one inward to the Heart Where ever-present grace abides. Is not this burden purposeless Like the goat's ever-restless beard? 144 Unless by one means or another Mind dies out and certitude >From true self-recognition comes, The knowledge which mere learning brings Is like the horse's horn unreal. (Sri Muruganar's The Garland of Guru's Sayings - Trans. Prof. K. Swaminathan, Sri Ramanasramam, Tiruvannamalai; 1996) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
