Guest guest Posted April 22, 2008 Report Share Posted April 22, 2008 (iv) The Ideal of India 57. The final aim of Indian philosophy is the spiritual one. It is search for the Eternal, Immortal Atman, seeking and finding his own Self. 58. Know thyself. This is the most difficult lesson in the world. 59. To conquer one's self is the highest knowledge. 60. Every living being a moving temple of God. Lord dwells in the chambers of his heart. 61. Dualism, qualified monism and non-dualism are the different rungs in the ladder of philosophy. 62. Drik is Advaita. Drishya is Dvaita. 63. The body is the field. The individual soul is the plough-man. Virtue and vice are the two seeds. As you sow, so you reap. 64. O Ram! Walk the Brahman way. Brahman way is walking with God or Brahman. Brahman way is Brahmacharya. 65. Brahmacharya is the very soul of Hindu culture and Hindu civilisation. 66. Look upon no woman with lust. Regard her as motehr or Devi. This is Brahmacharya of the eye. 67. Listen not to words of ill-will or hate against any. Hear not lustful talks. Study no romantic novels. This is Brahmacharya of the ear. 68. Avoid dainties. Speak not on women. Control your appetities. This is Brahmacharya of the tongue. 69. Entertain not lustful thoughts. This is Brahmacharya of the mind. 70. To love in perfect goodness is to realise one life in all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
