Guest guest Posted September 19, 2008 Report Share Posted September 19, 2008 We have an old saying here translated as: Everybody is the smith of his own happiness If we are 'passing through' an illusory individual existence with Self Knowledge developing from the beginning through the middle to the end. Then today if I should try to express anything, it could be something like: When an urge comes to be wise about the ego, ( with reference to Bhagavans story of the policeman and the thief ) it is better to spend an hour in silence. Alan Many a house of Life hath held me seeking ever him who wrought These prisons of the senses, sorrow-fraught; Sore was my ceaseless strife! But now, Thou Builder of this Tabernacle Thou! I know Thee! Never shalt thou build again These walls of pain, Broken thy house is, and the ridge-pole split! Delusion fashioned it! Safe pass I thence Deliverance to obtain. I am the Self, O Gudakesa, dwelling in the Hearts of all beings. I am the beginning and the middle and the end of all beings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
