And thinking this,

the curses of their kind.

And thinking this...

Insatiate desire

is their starting point,

maddened are they

by hypocrisy and pride,

clutching at false conceptions,

deluded as they are.

Impure are their resolves...

Insatiate desire

INDIAN OPINION:

As witless fools

perform their work,

attached to the work they do,

so with senses freed,

the wise man should act,

longing to bring about the welfare

and coherence of the world...

As witless fools

perform their work,

attached to the work they do,

so with senses freed,

the wise man should act,

longing to bring about the welfare

and coherence of the world.

Therefore detached,

perform unceasingly the work

that must be done...

For the man detached

who labors on to the highest

must win through...

This is how the saints

attained success.

Moreover,

you should embrace action

for the upholding,

the welfare of your own kind.

Therefore detached...

Whatever the noblest does,

that too will others do.

The standard that he sets

ail the world will follow.

""In the three worlds

there is nothing I need do...

nor anything unattained

that I need to gain,

yet action is the element

in which I move...""

""If I were not

tirelessly to busy myself,

to busy myself with work,

then would men everywhere

follow in my footsteps,

sinking back.""

""In the three worlds

there is nothing I need do...""

""As witless fools

perform their work...""

""If I were not to do my work,

these worlds would fail to ruin...

and I would create confusion...""

PROTEU The Lord said,

the Lord said:

""Let a man feel hatred

for no being,

let him be friendly,

compassionate,

done with thoughts

of "I" and "mine",

the same in pleasure

as in pain and long suffering.

His self restrained,

his purpose firm,

Let his mind and soul

be steeped in me,

let him worship me with love.

Then will I love him in return.

Then will I love him in return.""

The Lord said...

Hold pleasure and pain,

profit and loss,
