Guest guest Posted December 19, 2004 Report Share Posted December 19, 2004 True devotees are firmly convinced in their hearts that everything that occurs happens only for the best. Muruganar: Human beings, who possess insignificant power, do not even have the power to change their own minds, which are supposedly under their control. This being so, trying to alter the events of the external world, which are under the strong control of the powerful Iswara, can be classified as ignorance. Unless such efforts are aligned with what Iswara has already ordained, (in which case, success is a coincidence, like a fruit falling off a tree when a crow alights on a branch) they usually end in vain. Such attempts only lead to disappointment. Padamalai The Teachings of Sri Ramana Maharshi Recorded by Muruganar David Godman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
