Guest guest Posted June 17, 2002 Report Share Posted June 17, 2002 ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` As long as man is devoted to material objects and his narrow interests, he cannot avoid war, revolution and mass destruction. Vairagya (detachment) is much needed today. It is of value not as an end in itself but as a preparatory step to the achievement of truth absolute. If this great principle is adopted in daily life, competition will give place to co-operation, and duplicity and dishonesty will disappear. Vairagya is the foundation of spiritual life. - Hari Prasad Shastri ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` ` " Direct Experience of Reality " Hari Prasad Shastri Shanti Sadan, London, 1959 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
