The source of the quotation at the end of the story is from the classic Ashtavakra Gita. I got it from <A HREF="http://are.berkeley.edu/~atanu/India/ash_gita.html" REL="nofollow"> Atanu's blog</A>. I am also planning a post on Ashtavakra Gita.<BR/><BR/>Incidentally, the passage from Ashtavakra Gita is very similar to what Sri Ramana said in his <A HREF="http://www.realization.org/page/namedoc0/40_verses/40_verses_0.htm" REL="nofollow">forty verses on Reality</A>. I have a brief <A HREF="http://brahmanisone.blogspot.com/2005/06/ramanas-forty-verses-on-reality.html" REL="nofollow">post</A> on the forty verses. A script prints a random selection per day to the sidebar. The verses numbered 23rd, 33rd and 36 (in the online translation) convey the same meaning as that of the verse from Asthavakra Gita.<BR/><BR/>Another way to put the moral of the story maybe:<BR/>Meditation is essential to realization. Not the mechanical repetetion of the particular verses/passages. <BR/><BR/>Also, this story is like one of the classic zen stories, which say: <I>if you are trying to meditate, you are not meditating.</I>ramakrishna uhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06901176795841707101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12330760.post-1131571238011465292005-11-09T22:20:00.000+01:002005-11-09T22:20:00.000+01:00These stories really justify the title of your blo...These stories really justify the title of your blog :-).
