Passage 3

In English

"Constantly entertaining bad thoughts, playing a game of blind man's buff, Strutting about with a perishable body, as soon as one's accumulations From past lives are exhausted, giving up this make-believe existence, The poor player meets with his death, carrying with him the consequences Of his good and bad deeds," says a Thelugu poem. Is this the life one should lead? Can this be the purpose of life? This verily is not the life a true man should lead. One would manifest his full personality. How is this personality to be developed? The first requisite is elimination of the ego. Only when the ego is destroyed, does a man's personality blossom forth.
