Guest guest Posted September 30, 2001 Report Share Posted September 30, 2001 Jaya Guru Datta, Here is today's saying: “ . . . A man may not use abusive words while talking to others. But in his mind, if he uses these words, he becomes a man of false conduct. No doubt he kept his mouth shut. But his mind was full of envy and hatred. So it misbehaved. Such an act cannot free a man of guilt. Similarly, he might have controlled his organs of action, he might have given up objects of enjoyments, but if he keeps on looking at pictures that would excite lust in him and if he contemplates on them, he will be affected by the fault of indulgence. Giving up physical actions and allowing the mind to roam about will not do any good in one’s spiritual progress. The idea is, along with the giving up of the objects of enjoyments physically, one should put more amount of effort to steady the mind and make it pure.” Sri Swamiji Lessons From the Bhagavad Gita – 17 Compiled by Swami Dattananda Bhakti Mala, September 1993, p. 12 Sri Guru Datta, Swamiji Says Suggest a quote for this week's Swamiji Says!
