Guest guest Posted September 30, 2002 Report Share Posted September 30, 2002 Jaya Guru Datta, Here is today's saying: “Let us repeat our question - for a Jeevi, is sorrow natural or acquired? Let us assume that sorrow is natural to a Jeevi. What is the harm? The smell of camphor remains even if it is a small piece of camphor. Strong smell is natural to it. If characteristic smell has to disappear, the camphor itself should disappear. Similarly, if sorrow were to be natural to a Jeevi, it will cease to exist when the Jeevi ceases to exist! In the ancient scriptures, such as the Vedas we come across descriptions of ways and means of getting rid of sorrow and acquiring happiness. If sorrow is considered ‘natural’, we will have to say that the words of the Vedas and Shastras are completely wrong.
