Thus Spake Sri Rama

[Guest guest]

Whatever man always hears, sees, or thinks is non-real, just as the

things seen in the dream and the castles in the air built by the mind

are not real.

 

A frog caught by a serpent, while sitting in the latter's mouth with

half its body already swallowed, puts out its tongue and tries to catch

hold of a small flies that happen to come near it.

 

Similarly man even when he is already caught by the serpent of Time,

searches for sense enjoyments which are trnasitory. He works very hard

day and night undergoing much trouble to get them.
