While Departing Do you want to depart? Well, then depart. But since you have come down, depart with glee. You can't shirk departing, can you? Well, but when departing, why not leave behind the fragrance of affection and service, of magnanimity and fair-dealing instead of the vicious odour of self-interest, so that we may shed as well some genuine tears on the sacred memory of that sweet aroma ?
Incomprehensible One whose wrath has flared up from righteous indignation, whose pride is the product of humility, whose attachment has grown out of self-abnegation, whose gain is the child of contentment-such a person can turn this desert of our arid existence into a bower of living paradise. It is somewhat difficult to comprehend this truth. It seems selfcontradictory, may not be perfectly intelligible to a layman. But one who can comprehend it, is undoubtedly a sage! 80
