Guest guest Posted August 26, 1999 Report Share Posted August 26, 1999 Verse #35 Enjoyments of embodied beings are fleeting like the quick play of lightning within a mass of clouds. Life is as insecure as a drop of water attached to the edge of a lotus-leaf and dispersed by the wind. The desires of youth are unsteady. Realizing these quickly, let the wise firmly fix their minds in Yoga, easily attainable by patience and equanimity. The call for patience and equanimity is easier asked for than done, I might say. Oh, how to calm the mercurial mind! Edith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 26, 1999 Report Share Posted August 26, 1999 Dear Anurag, Yes, I know several ice creams that are quite divine: chocolate, mango, and pralines and cream. But my favorite flavor is Amrita, the Nectar of Immortality. It seems to be your favorite also. :-) A serious note: the Master said (somewhere) that one acquires subtle senses from spiritual discipline. It is no poetry. One can truly taste Amrita, not with the tongue, but with a subtle sense of taste, and Anurag says it best: " Such is the taste of divine love that nothin tastes like it " Anurag your notes always inspire me so much!

Guest guest Posted August 26, 1999 Report Share Posted August 26, 1999 Dear Anurag, Your message about blood donors caught my eye. My father had a similar problem. One of the best outlets for tapping blood-donors is a sports organization, like a local cricket or football club. See if you can contact them. They usually have lots of blood donors (often amateur atheletes) who know their blood groups and are willing to donate.
