________________
The Aroma of Peace When the sandal-stick meets the fire, the atmosphere becomes surcharged with the perfume effused thereby. Similarly, when speech is made one with behaviour, the fragrance of peace would emanate therefrom!
Life's Quintessence
If you crush the sugarcane, it will set aflow a stream of sweet juice. If you rub the sandal-wood, it will treat you with a banquet of cool perfume. If you throw a stone at a bough, it will yield you sweet fruit. If you burn the incense, it will set off fumes and fumes of sweet aroma. If you provoke in your ignorance a noble person, he will return you only forgiveness wrought with compassion.
What but life's quintessence will the noble-hearted return against disservice done?
