Guest guest Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 A great emperor purchased a horse for ten thousand rupees. The horse was restless and no one was able to ride it. Then his son Sikandar said, " Beloved father, I can ride this horse " . He sat on the horse and rode it in the direction of the sun. The horse galloped. The emperor was quite astonished. He said, " O Sikandar: How did you manage to ride this horse? " Sikandar replied, " The horse was afraid of his own shadow so I made him run towards the sun " . Such is the restless horse-mind also. If you turn it towards atman (self) it will be peaceful. If you turn it towards maya (delusion) it will jump and dance. - Swami Sivananda Gokulmuthu Narayanaswamy <gokulmuthu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
