Title: FW: [globalnews] SRI KRISHNA: The Lustre of Wisdom
THE LUSTRE OF WISDOM
Learn from these facets of Nature: though trampled on by all, be
firm in your adversity like the earth itself; from these mountains
which hold their mineral and other resources for the welfare of the
world, learn that you must live for others and not for yourself; like
the wind, you must be able to pass through unhindered; all-pervasive,
touching everything, yet itself untouched, the sky is verily the
shining paradigm of the Yogin; you should be limpid, pure, purifying,
pleasing and refreshing like water; effulgent with the lustre of
wisdom like the fire that reduces to ashes all impurity; like the
python, lie still and take only what comes to you, and when nothing
comes, fast as the python does; like the sea, deep and unfathomable,
neither be swollen by what flows into you nor be depleted by what is
withdrawn from you; like the bee, take in little by little, and from
good and bad alike, extract the essence even as the bee gathers
honey.
SHRI KRISHNA
