Guest guest Posted September 10, 1999 Report Share Posted September 10, 1999 From " 100 Verses on Renunciation " by Bhartrihari: Verse #90: Can this universe, which is but a mere reflection, engender greed in wise men? The ocean surely does not become agitated by the movement of a little fish. THAT is the perspective from which to view all this individual, community and universal nonsense going on all around us!

Guest guest Posted September 11, 1999 Report Share Posted September 11, 1999 What I meant by " universal nonsense " was wars and greed and what makes up much of the front pages of our newspapers. Does that make sense? Edith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
