Guest guest Posted September 18, 2004 Report Share Posted September 18, 2004 Respected colleagues, It is often quoted that hamsa is unique in sepearting milk from water.What does this mean. Milk as we know is mostly water-(90 percent water) with sugars, fat and minerals diepersed...What is this -milk - which is seperated by the swan? will clear water be left behind after the swan has done its job? Perhaps It means only that the intelligent person absorbs only the essentails from a otherwise inseperable mixture. Dasn Narayanan vote. - Register online to vote today!

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2004 Report Share Posted September 19, 2004 Swami, Yes hamsa does take only the milk. every one wants to do that but that requires a degree of training and mental audacity. there is a Zen story of the Master pouring the tea in the cup even though it overflows. The moral as thought is a MAN HEARS OR TAKES IN ONLY TO HIS CAPACITY. >From a purely philosophial point, neither the Zen Teacher or the Student knows which part of the tea is in the cup?
