Guest guest Posted November 6, 2001 Report Share Posted November 6, 2001 Jaya Guru Datta, Here is today's saying: “Consider the example of the spy. As long as he is in the enemy's palace, he behaves as though he belongs to that place. If, during the course of his pretence, he actually falls in love with the princess, he not only ceases to be of any use to those who hired him for the job of a spy, but also risks his life in the process. Similarly, one should exercise caution when one pursues truth in this world. The body, the senses, and the sense objects should always be considered as enemies and one should consider one's self to be the spy living with them. Only then one can successfully remain detached from the foul play of the sense organs. Then sanga, (attachment,) will not afflict that person. This is . . . a short cut to realize Truth."
