Guest guest Posted August 21, 1999 Report Share Posted August 21, 1999 Dear Onelist, I would like to share a few verses from VAIRAGYA-SATAKAM or " 100 Verses on Renunciation " of Bhartrihari. It is about renunciation, on the reasons for renouncing, rather than on the experience of the realized soul as is the ASTAVAKRA, but I find some of it very inspiring. Please, anyone who is interested in them, please let me know. Verse #7 Worldly pleasures have not been enjoyed by us, but we ourselves have been devoured. No religious austerities have been gone through, but we ourselves have become scorched. Time is not gone (being ever-present and infinite); it is we who are gone (because of approaching death). Desire is not reduced in force, though we ourselves are reduced to senility. I hope this does inspire, rather than depress. Edith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
