Knowledge acquired from the sight of
others—what is the use of it, so long as we
have no experience of our own? The pleasures of
the senses have led many astray; later on, when
they would fain give them up, they cannot repress
them. A well-planned diet, righteous dealings
with men, freedom from passion—these are the
means of salvation. As when a ship is anchored
on the sand and a gale assaults it, so is it with the
pompous self-conceit of man.
Tuka says, Control
your mind till you grasp Narayana.
