Guest guest Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 The camel eats thorns and is happy. Man too suffers untold misery as a result of his search after objective pleasures; but he does not seek a way out. He was not aroused into activity to overcome the pain of the thorns in his mouth. The pain makes him resolve now and then to desist, but, that is but a transitional vow. There is no strength behind that resolution. When disgust develops into determination, the habit is terminated, the effects are washed off in the tears of repentance and the mind is eliminated. The Lord is ever behind you; turn back from the world - He is face to face with you ! Cultivate enough strength of mind to know its weakness and to surrender your all, to the God whom you see face to face in all beings and all moments. - Sri Sathya Sai Baba "SSS" Vol. VI, p.89 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
