Gem's from Bhagavan: Renunciation

[Guest guest]

Where can you go, fleeing the world or objects? They are like the shadow of

man, which man cannot flee from. There is a funny story of a man who wanted

to bury his shadow. He dug a deep pit, and seeing his shadow at the bottom,

was glad he could bury it deep. He went on filling the pit, and when he had

completely filled it up, he was surprised and disappointed to find the

shadow still on top. Even so, the objects or thought of them will be always

with you until you realize the Self.
