Guest guest Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 Rishiji, Expectations fuel frustrations, which result in festering wounds and not properly cared for may not heal.Gita is the perfect answer, but very difficult to practice, I always try to walk along , stray, get hit, and then come back, then go right back. In an aside, guess I have a penchant for suffering, lessons.
