Day by Day with Bhagavan 16-3-45 Evening

[Guest guest]

Almost the same question was put by another visitor in the afternoon

and Bhagavan said, "Where can you go, fleeing from the world or

objects? They are like the shadow of a man, which the man cannot flee

from. There is a funny story of a man who wanted to bury his shadow.

He dug a deep pit and, seeing his shadow at the bottom, was glade he

could bury it so deep. He went on filling the pit and when he had

completely filled it up he was surprised and disappointed to find the

shadow on top. Even so, the objects or thoughts of them will be with

you always, till you realise the Self."
