The Maha-Bodhi April-May 1950

1950

Go ye 0 Bhikkhus and under forth for the gain of the many for the welfare of the many in compassion for the world for the good for the gain for the welfare of gods and men. [...] "Accustomed long to know the meaning of the Wordless I have forgot the way to trace the roots of verbs and source of words and phrases." It is by self-disciplining of the mind after the manner of disciplining a wild horse and making the mind immune to the obsessing and yogcally undesirable influences emanaing from the illusory phantasmagoria of the world that Milarepa would have us seek [...] And hereof he sings in his song about the Horse of Mind how the undiciplined mind is to be caught with the Lasso of Singleness of Purpose tied to the Pole of Meditation fed with the Guru's Teachings and watered from the Stream of Conciousness. [...] To Milarepa as to all saints of every religion in all civilizations and epochs of human history wantlessness and complete renunciation of the worldly way of living rather than alconsuming dsire for and acquisition of the perishable things of the world lead to the attainment of a standard of living which is the highest realizable on this planet. [...] The attack of the Buddha on the infallibility of the Vedas had destroyed the validity of this old foundatioof Chaturvarna.
