Guest guest Posted June 18, 2006 Report Share Posted June 18, 2006 Om Namah Sivaya “Live in the world, but be not worldly. As saying goes, make the frog dance before the snake, but let not the snake swallow the frog.” ----Sri Ramakrishna Tirumantiram by Rishi Tirumular: Verse 2031: Lord is a Fisher of Desires One cubit its depth, Half cubit its diameter, Thus shaped round is the body pond; The Fisherman (Lord) His net spreads; Many the fish (of desires) He caught; No more--the troubles I encounter. Bhagavad Gita: >From Chapter VI: The Yoga of Meditation 8. The Yogi who is satisfied with the knowledge and the wisdom (of the Self), who has conquered the senses, and to whom a clod of earth, a piece of stone and gold are the same, is said to be harmonised (that is, is said to have attained the state of Nirvikalpa Samadhi). 9. He who is of the same mind to the good-hearted, friends, enemies, the indifferent, the neutral, the hateful, the relatives, the righteous and the unrighteous, excels. 10. Let the Yogi try constantly to keep the mind steady, remaining in solitude, alone, with the mind and the body controlled, and free from hope and greed. Tirukural: (308) Though others inflict wrongs as painful as flaming torches, it is good if a man can refrain from inflammatory tantrums.
