"The masses of men live a life of quiet desperation"
-Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
Maya keeps souls busy. It IS like a swamp. The vices pull the soul... and it is at different levels. And the result is peacelessness. And Baba said... peacelessness is a sign of anger. And truly whenever there are signs of peacelessness, there is also sporadic harshness. If not towards others, then especially towards the self. These stumbling blocks must be transcended quickly and effectively.
There is a long journey ahead. Possessiveness and dominance are strong vices. They are subtle too. They may not be visible. They may not really be manifest either. And yet the symptoms are clear. Peacelessness. Or better still, discontentment with any situation is the sign that these vices are at work. Hmmm.
