Guest guest Posted April 27, 2006 Report Share Posted April 27, 2006 I am amazed at the seeker of purity who, when it's time to be polished, complains of rough handling... That harshness isn't toward you, O son, but toward the harmful qualities within you. When someone beats a rug, the blows are not against the rug, but against the dust in it. ~ Rumi Aum Amriteswarayai Namaha!

My own thoughts were that if I gave my cat or dog blows instead of soothing words when I bathe them, they'd be long gone! Meeeooww! Jyotsna > Aum Amriteswarayai Namaha! Terms of Service.
