- Banana Skin
The relation between soul and body is like the banana and its skin.
The skin is in firm contact, but when it is peeled off, it leaves smoothly as though it had nothing to do with the fruit!
- Karma
Karma theory is purely a Law of physics. It affects only the physical and chemical parts of the being. Mind may associate itself with the body and be subject to karmic operation, or with the spirit - and be above it.
- Loss of Effort?
When sadhana is interrupted, is the effort or achievement lost? Perhaps no.
But the momentum is lost, the zeal is lost - and zeal is every thing in spiritual life.
Even when the thread is taken up again, it will take considerable time to build up the momentum again.
This is the loss - and a very great loss.
- Heart
I have my heart and you have yours. To me there is only one heart. To you there is only one. In structure and function and in their essential nature, "they'' are all One. Your heart is not different from mine.
But my heart may love all and yours may shoot arrows at strangers.
- Old Age
To put off yoga to old age, is to offer God the leavings of the devil's dinner!'
