Guest guest Posted June 10, 2009 Report Share Posted June 10, 2009 This physical body is as transitory as a bubble of water. No one knows when life would fly away like a winged bird freed from its cage. There will certainly come a day when friends and relations in whose attachment you are so much absorbed will be separated from you. Why do you not awake even under this circumstance? Your enemies, lust, anger, greed, etc, are constatnly on the look out for an opportunity to catch you and destroy you ... Why not you tread the royal road on which walk the saints bearing ideal conduct and wide hearts? ... Do you allow the mind to wander into evil even for a moment? Do you not possess the fear of death? Therefore, heed this warning; safeguard your future by taking to the path of Dharma. Practice of Dharma is the only means of protection. (Mahabharata - Santi Parva) (Taken from Sri Ramana Jyothi, June 2009) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
