Guest guest Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 Thus Spake The Lord Life is a long garland of blossoms, fair and faded, fragrant and futile. They are, so to say, the good and bad of life. Man recognizes only the blossoms, happy over some, unhappy over most. He does not see the string on which they are bound together---the Brahmasuthra---the lasting fade-less Brahma principle that gives stability to the short-lived flowers. Life is a jungle where there is a great deal of dry wood which harbors worms and insects. No one cleans the floor of the forest, or cuts away the undergrowth of bush and bramble. To wade through the thorns and the leech-ridden floor of the jungle, one has to wear boots. So, too, one has to wear the boots of sense-regulation if one has to pass through the jungle of life, without harming oneself. Life is but the interval between birth and death, a procession towards the grave that starts at the very moment of birth. Reference: Sathya Sai Speaks; Vol. VII, P. 125.
