Guest guest Posted December 5, 2002 Report Share Posted December 5, 2002 upadeso hi murkhanam prakopaya na santaye payah-panam bhujanganam kevalam visa-vardhanam Those who are rascals, fools, if you speak something valuable for his life he'll not hear you. He'll become angry. The example is given, payah-panam bhujanganam kevalam visa-vardhanam. Just like if a snake, if you ask the snake that "I shall give you daily a cup of milk. Do not commit this harmful life, biting unnecessarily others. You come here, take a cup of milk and live peacefully," that he will not be able. He... By drinking, drinking that cup of milk, his poison will increase, and as soon as the poison is increased -- it is also another itching sensation -- he wants to bite. He'll bite. So the result will be payah-panam bhujanganam kevalam visa-vardhanam. The more they starve, that is good for them because the poison will not increase. >>> Ref. VedaBase => Bhagavad-gita 16.7 -- Hyderabad, December 14, 1976 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
