Guest guest Posted June 9, 2005 Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 AVOID! AVOID!! AVOID!! “Our mind is fickle by nature, it should not be allowed to get wild. The senses may get restless, the body, however, should be held in check and not allowed to be impatient.” Sri Sai Satcharitra, Ch. XLIX A young man approached a man of God and said to him, “Teach me a way to overcome temptation.” “I will suggest to you not one, but three remedies,” replied the saint. “The first is to avoid occasions. The second is to avoid occasions. And the third is to avoid occasions.” The young man was determined to change his life, and decided to follow the saint’s advice. One day, however, a dangerous occasion confronted him. A girl of questionable character with whom, at one time, he was very intimate, came to meet him. “Honey, don’t I mean anything to you?” she drawled. “I’m still the same girl, after all!” “Yes!” replied the young man hastily. “But I am not the same fellow.” With that, he ran away as fast as his legs could carry him.
