Guest guest Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 The best way to get rid of weakness is to strike at its very roots - the mistaken notion that you are the body, with a name and form, the five senses, intelligence and the mind. In fact, these are like baggage. Don't you say, "my nose, my mind, my hand, my reason", just as you say, "my book, my umbrella?" Who is the 'I' that calls all these 'mine'? That is the real 'you'. It was there when you were born, and also when you were sleeping, forgetful of everything, even your body. That 'I' cannot be harmed; it does not change, it knows neither birth nor death. Learn the discipline that makes you aware of this Truth and you will be ever free and bold. That is real vidya, the Atmavidya (Knowledge of the Self), which the sages have gathered for you after intense penance and contemplation. -BABA http://groups.msn.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
