Guest guest Posted September 3, 2002 Report Share Posted September 3, 2002 Jaya Guru Datta, Here is today's saying: “4. Titiksha Titiksha means tolerance. When man is exposed to sorrow and other undesirable situations, he will naturally try to look for a suitable remedy. The pursuit of remedial measures will often prompt him to resort to wrong methods and thereby man commits sins. One who realises that it is not possible for one to escape the karmas of the past lives and when one realises - with the help of discrimination - that the miseries of today are in fact the consequence of the sins committed in the previous lives, one will refrain from resorting to wrong methods. When one realises that the world one sees is impermanent, trivial and unreal, one will understand that sorrow is as meaningless as pleasure in this mortal world. Then one will neither try to gratify sense pleasures nor try to overcome miseries brought about by the sense organs. This condition is called as Titiksha. Titiksha makes way to Uparati."
