Comment: Sri Ramakrishna said: " Lakshman said to Rama, `How strange! Vaishishtha Deva is such a jnani (great man of knowledge). Even he wept inconsolably at the death of his son.'... " Swami Vivekananda said: We need reason to drive out all the old superstitions; and what remains is Vedantism. There is a beautiful Sanskrit poem in which the sage says to himself: " Why weepest thou, my friend? There is no fear nor death for thee. Why weepest thou? There is no misery for thee, for thou art like the infinite blue sky, unchangeable in thy nature. Clouds of all colours come before it, play for a moment, and pass away; it is the same sky. Thou hast only to drive away the clouds. " Om Shanthi Om ============ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 Namaste, When you love someone you miss them when they are gone, that’s the nature of love. The best thing we can do for others is to awaken, then the bonds of our love to others become golden threads that lift them as well.
