Guest guest Posted November 1, 2004 Report Share Posted November 1, 2004 STUDY GROUP on SPIRITUAL INSTRUCTION CHAPTER 2 PRACTICE Abhyasa V23. V24. Q. Of what use to his family is a wise householder who is unmindful of the maintenance of his body, and of what use is his family to him? M. Although he is entirely unmindful of the maintenance of his body, if, owing to his past karma, his family have to subsist by his efforts, he may remain as someone who does service to others. If it is asked whether the wise man derives any benefit from the discharge of domestic duties, it may be answered that, as he has already attained the state of unlimited contentment which is the sum total of all benefits and the highest good of all, he does not stand to gain anything more by discharging family duties. ---- anu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
