Words & Wisdom (9 Oct. 16)


ARCETICISM

At the beginning of the battle Arjuna “threw down his bow and arrow”. This, in India, meant that he then resolved to desert the circumstances in which Karma had placed him to become an ascetic.
-       Mahabharta

The Indian mind has always been disposed to believe that power and knowledge may be obtained by extreme asceticism by fasting, sleeplessness, and self torment.

-       Vedas
