Guest guest Posted March 26, 2004 Report Share Posted March 26, 2004 Sacred Thoughts from Tulsidas, Ramacharitmanas Gold too comes from rock, but no amount of burning can make it forsake its natural quality. As destiny decrees so help appears: either it comes to a man or it leads him away to safety. No amount of sin can equal a lie. Can a myriad seeds make a mountain? In this world there has been none whom dominion has not intoxicated. There are many types of sorrow in this world but none so grievous as an insult to one's family. To argue with a drunkard and endeavour to convince him is like searching with a torch for one lost in deep waters. Fate is ahead in its own way: either you go to face it or by itself it comes and takes you away. When you apply sandal to your forehead, do you think of it merely as a product wood? Form seems to depend on names: it cannot be separated from the name. Worldly reputation is a fire burning up the forest of penance. Ramayana says that the holy persons give happiness to others while the unholy persons live for making others unhappy. So, those learning and practising astrology should follow the conduct of holy persons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
