Guest guest Posted March 10, 2003 Report Share Posted March 10, 2003 The fruit of action passes . But action leaves behind Seed of further action Leading to an endless ocean of action Not at all to moksha K.Swaminathan The transient fruit is the cause of falling into the great ocean of action . It obstructs the attaiment of the goal . Ganapati Muni As thought , as word and act , the threefold Ignorance moves , and unceasingly begets its own dark future ; its profits and losses time-defaced , its seed, the increase of night . How can light spring from Darkness, how can Freedom arise from multiplied fetters ? Anantanarayanan Of Karma the results must pass away , Yet it leaves seeds which in their turn will sprout And throw the actor back into the flood Of Karma's ocean.Karma cannot save . Chadwick Action is the cause for one to fall in the vast ocean of further action .The result of an action is limited and hence is an obstruction to knowledge which is the direct means of liberation . Swami Dayananda The results of Karma pass away , and yet leave seeds that cast the agent into an ocean of Karma.Karma yields no salvation . B.V. Narasimhaswami In the vast ocean of cause and effect actions happen and impermanent results follow .if one takes them as 'my' actions the idea of having a free will gets stronger .this sense of personal doership gives rise to a feeling of guilt or pride and effectively blocks the spiritual understanding that everything happens according to the will of God .

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2003 Report Share Posted March 10, 2003 om namo bhagavate sri ramanaya 2a krtimahodadhau patanakAraNam / phalamaSASvatam gatinirodhakam // Transient fruit (of action), obstructs the way, and is the cause of (further) descent into the great ocean of action. Sanskrit version (Upadesa Saram) transl. by Miles ----------- 2b vinayin viLaivu viLivur^r^u vittAy vinaikkadal vIzhttidu mun*dIpar^a vIdu taralilai yun*dIpar^a Though the fruits of deeds (done with a sense of doership) are exhausted by being enjoyed/experienced, they remain as seeds of desire for more such deeds (action) and immerse the doer in the sea of more action. They do not give liberation. Tamil version (Upadesa Undiyar), transl. by Suri ============= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
