Strana 50 - Sequestered should he sit, Steadfastly meditating, solitary, His thoughts controlled, his passions laid away, Quit of belongings. In a fair, still spot Having his fixed abode, — not too much raised, Nor yet too low, — let him abide, his goods A cloth, a deerskin, and the KuSa-grass.

Strana 30 - The babe unborn, so is the world of things Foiled, soiled, enclosed in this desire of flesh. The wise fall, caught in it ; the unresting foe It is of wisdom, wearing countless forms, Fair but deceitful, subtle as a flame. Sense, mind, and reason — these, O Kunti's son! Are booty for it ; in its play with these It maddens man, beguiling, blinding him. Therefore, thou noblest child of Bharata ! Govern thy heart! Constrain th
Strana 167 - ... last word, My utmost meaning have! Precious thou art to Me; right well-beloved! Listen! I tell thee for thy comfort this. Give Me thy heart! adore Me! serve Me! cling In faith and love and reverence to Me! So shalt thou come to Me! I promise true, For thou art sweet to Me! And let go those Rites and writ duties!

Strana 21 - Shows wisdom perfect. What is midnight-gloom To unenlightened souls shines wakeful day To his clear gaze; what seems as wakeful day Is known for night, thick night of ignorance, To his true-seeing eyes. Such is the Saint ! And like the ocean, day by day receiving Floods from all lands, which never overflows ; Its boundary-line not leaping, and not leaving, Fed by the rivers, but unswelled by those ; — So is the perfect one ! to his soul's ocean The world of sense pours streams of witchery; They...
Strana 20 - If one Ponders on objects of the sense, there springs Attraction ; from attraction grows desire, Desire flames to fierce passion, passion breeds Recklessness; then the memory — all betrayed — Lets noble purpose go, and saps the mind, Till purpose, mind, and man are all undone, made a deep impression on my mind, and they still ring in my ears.
Strana 72 - CHAPTER IX KRISHNA: Now will I open unto thee — whose heart Rejects not — that last lore, deepest-concealed, That farthest secret of My Heavens and Earths, Which but to know shall set thee free from ills, — A Royal lore ! a Kingly mystery ! Yea ! for the soul such light as purgeth it From every sin ; a light of holiness With inmost splendor shining ; plain to see ; Easy to walk by, inexhaustible ! They that receive not this, failing in faith To grasp the greater wisdom, reach not Me, Destroyer...
Strana 15 - twas— Beholding Dhritirashtra's battle set, Weapons unsheathing, bows drawn forth, the war Instant to break — Arjun, whose ensign-badge Was Hanuman the monkey, spake this thing To Krishna the Divine, his charioteer: "Drive, Dauntless One! to yonder open ground Betwixt the armies; I would see more nigh These who will fight with us, those we must slay To-day, in war's arbitrament; for, sure, On bloodshed all are bent who throng this plain, Obeying Dhritirashtra's sinful son.
