Guest guest Posted March 31, 2002 Report Share Posted March 31, 2002 Jaya Guru Datta, Here is today's saying: “Transformation brought about by fear cannot eradicate bad Samskara (tendency) from the mind. A stray cattle chased away with a club (to prevent it from eating the standing crops) will return repeatedly to the same field. This is because fear of punishment is not capable of bringing about transformation. For true transformation to set in, the person should realise that what he is doing is wrong (such realization is called Vijnaana). He should also feel ‘I should not do this, because it will harm others’ (such an attitude is called (Prema). Transformation brought about by such Vijnaana and Prema alone is capable of eradicating bad Samskara from the mind."
