Once there was a Brahmin who when he lost all his hard earned wealth,Became one with a mind full of the dirt of anger and hatred,And consequently was shunned by the society at large, He said that the people, or time, or Karmaa or planets were not the cause of his sorrow. His own mind was the cause, it being a product of the guna Insinuating the capacity of action as well as consumption on the soul, “And then he became extremely serene and attained you easily, Oh Lord please also bless me with that type of serenity.
