In Search of the ultimate
As a vast and beautiful lake, filled with clean water is the life-line for many animals, so a teacher (spiritual guru) who is a lake of knowledge, steadfast and who takes care of all living beings is the life force. They have a faith and politeness, they have no attachment and they wish for ultimate peaceful death. I say this, look up to them. (5/5/312)
O Man! The one you are thinking of killing is (no one but) YOUR SELF. The one you are ordering about is yourself. The one you are thinking of putting in misery is yourself. The one you are thinking of catching is yourself. Think on this. With this sort of understanding you will have equality (friendship) with all living beings. Knowing that everyone has to bear the fruits of his own deeds, one should not |kill any living beings. (5/5/320)
The soul is the (ultimate) knower and the knower is the soul. True knowledge of material is the most essential thing. One only knows his soul with the help of true knowledge, and one who knows the relation between true knowledge and the soul is a true philosopher. This has been rightly explained. Thus I say. (5/5/321)
