Guest guest Posted January 17, 2004 Report Share Posted January 17, 2004 Following Fools or Sages If a man string putrid fish on a blade of kusa grass. that same grass will putrid smell. So with him who follows fools. If a man wraps frankincense in a leaf, that leaf smells sweet. So with those who follow sages. >From the Itivuttaka I dedicate this to our Divine Teachers, true sages... and to all the sweet smelling devotees who follow them.

bhaktajan Posted November 21, 2008 Report Share Posted November 21, 2008 Krishna is "Absolute Truth" and Ignorance is also an "Absolutely Real Existence". Because there is a state of existence that is called ''absolute" so there is stupidity that is 'absolute' --real life accidents transpire in absolutely reality --the true lessons of life take us from ignorance to Knowledge. To learn the intricacies of vidya and avidya one needs study: The proper path is towards knowledge that fullfills the guidelines of Sri Isopanisad Verse #11: "Only one who can learn the process of nescience and that of transcendental knowledge side by Side can transcend the influence of repeated birth and death and enjoy the full blessings of immortality" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
