BEWARE:-6.

APART FROM THE HONEY IT CONTAINS, A HONEY BOTTLE HAS NO SWEETNESS OF ITS OWN. ANY FOOL WEARING THE GARB OF THE PRIEST CANNOT BE A PRIEST; OR ELSE THE SACRED ROBE, AS IT DRIES IN THE LAUNDRY, MUST ALSO BE CONSIDERED AS A PRIEST. IT IS NOT THE CLOTH THAT MAKES ONE DIVINE; THE CLOTH MAY INDICATE THE SACRED GOAL OF THE WEARER, BUT IT IS THE PERFECTION IN THE MAN MORAL,ETHICAL AND SPIRITUAL THAT MAKES HIM DSERVE ALL OUR RESPECT AND OUR TOTAL REVERENCES.

INTRODUCTION : 24 24. ILLUSTRATIONS IN VEDANTA  : 7,8, AND 9. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7. Padmapatra-Nyaya This is the analogy of the lotus-leaf and water. Rain water often falls on a lotus-leaf but the water drips down and the leaf does not get stained by or attached to the water on it. In the same manner, this Atman or Brahman is untainted, though there are countless worlds rolling in it, and countless bodies are seen to be put on by it. 8. Vatagandha-Nyaya The wind carries whatever scent is exposed to it and spreads it everywhere. But the air is pure and is not defiled by bad scent or ornamented by a good scent therein. This is similar to the illustration of the lot

======================================================================= ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 23/01/2020. 1. Introduction -7. 7.The Mind And Its Works  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mind is Jagat. The mind moves the senses, the Pranas, etc. Mind is the cause of bondage and  liberation. A keen study of the mind and its works is necessary for the study of Vedanta.  The presiding deity of the mind is Moon or Soma. Moon is cool. It is formed of Apas-Tattva (water). Water has a tendency to run downwards. So also the tendency of the mind is always to run downwards towards sensual objects. The external ear, the eye-balls, etc., are only instruments. They are not the real senses of Indriyas. The real centres or senses are in the brain or most correctly in the astral body (Suk

============================================================= Tuesday, 09  Jan 2024.  05:30. Article Philosophy On Reason and Higher Life -3. ================================================================ We do not 'give' merely because another man's need is identical with his lack of ability. This is not the reason behind giving. We give because thereby we evolve, and there is the end of it. In this world there is always someone who has a larger ability and some other who has a lesser one. There is no point in mentioning it in the interpretation of the psychology of giving. In the performance of duty the result is not the motive. The motive is the psychological process that is going on in the act of giving. What you think and feel is important. The end beyond it is not the consideration. Our philosophy of Karma Yoga, which is the philosophy of the Bhagavad Gita, is one of emphasis on the essential value of active duty and not the passive existence of its remote end. It w
