(v) Vision of the Sage

 

77. For a sage, even the burial ground is the graden of bliss.

78. To a sage, cities and forests will make no difference.

79. A saint expresses love, patience, kindness, fortitude and good-

will to all under any condition.

80. A wise man is centred in his own Atman or Absolute consciousness.

He is untouched by the changes of the world. No external happening

can shake him off his balance.

81. A sage is a youth amongst the youth, aged amongst the aged, brave

amongst the brave, a child amongst the children. He feels the pain

and suffering among sufferers.

82. A sage performs all actions outwardly, but internally has no

desire for anything.

83. A sage does not desire what he has got, nor does he desire what

he has not got.

84. A sage is noble and magnanimous. He is peaceful in all activities.

85. A sage is like a lion out of the cage, free from shackles of

caste, creed, professions, tradition and scripture. He transcends the

world.

86. A sage has always a cheerful, lustruous face. He is ever joyful,

blissful and peaceful.

87. Whether one performs actions or not, a Jnani will never be free

from Samadhi state.

88. A Jnani or sage will alwyas be in Samadhi, although engaged in

worldly actions.

89. Just as the potter's wheel goes on revolving evern after the pot

is taken out of it, even so, though his Karma is destroyed, the

liberated soul or sage moves in the world all the while remaining in

the state of non-action.
