Saint

A Saint was asked:

"Who is wise?"

"He who always finds something to learn from others," said the Saint.

"Who is strong?"

"The man who is capable of dominating himself," responded the Saint.

"Who is wealthy?"

"He who knows the treasure he has: his days and hours of life, which can change everything which goes on around him."

"Who deserves respect?"

"He who respects himself and his neighbor."

"These things are all so obvious," commented one of those present. The Saint concluded by saying:

"That is why they are so difficult to observe."

  1. From the above article 'Saint,' I have learnt that path to the truth, God, non-violence, virtues, etc. are very easy to know but very difficult to follow practically due to the wrong culture of our society.

    If a Saint or God Blesses us, then these things are so easy that we will attain the bliss of God and Saint which is our ultimate goal. Then we will realize what situation we have got at present and in what depth of ignorance we are trying to chase Mayic happiness that is escaping us every moment.

    Thanks Ajit Bhaiya for kindling my Mayic intellect and manifesting the importance of a Saint.

    Jai Shree Radhey !

  2. "The man who is capable of dominating himself," is the strong.Accordingly we have to dominate/sacrifice our desires for the Mayic realm.

    And yes, our duty is also not over by just committing sacrifice only, we have to consider it wisely under the guidance of a truly God realized saint.
