Guest guest Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 --\ ---- MASTER (to Baburam): " Where are your books? Aren't you attending to your studies? (To M.) He wants to stick to both. (God and the wirld.) " That is very difficult. What will you gain by, knowing God partially? Vasishthadeva, great sage that he was, was overcome at the death of his sons. That amazed Lakshmana and he asked Rama the reason. Rama said: 'Brother, what is there to wonder at? He who has knowledge has ignorance also. Brother, go beyond both knowledge and ignorance.' If a thorn enters the sole of your foot, you get another thorn to take out the first one. Afterwards you throw both away. Likewise, one procures the thorn of knowledge to remove the thorn of ignorance; then one goes beyond both knowledge and ignorance.
