Guest guest Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 Creation: Everything has its own place in the economy of the Universe! Custom: We need not follow a loathsome custom simply because it is ancient. Only after due testing and necessary modification(s) should one accept a custom. This is a principle to be borne in mind. Alas! Think how customs get the better of man and enslave him! Even the intelligent man ought to know that customs are made for man, not man for customs. Death: When we are born, death is born with us. Desire: Desire is the seed of all fear and sorrow. The root of 'samsara' is desire. Worldly desires ae of the nature of bondage, they are also its cause, tying down a man with no visible chain, he cannot go beyond the end of tether. Yet he is proud of his freedom. The first thing that true seekers of happiness have to do is to conqauer desire. It is impossible to exhaust desires through enjoyment. So the only way to overcome them is through right thinking.
