THE KURAL

346. The feelings of I and Mine are nought but vanity and pride : he who crusheth them entereth a higher world than the world of the Gods.

347. Behold the man who holdeth on to attachments and giveth not them up : Grief shall take hold of him and shall not give him up.

348. They that have renounced utterly are on the path to salvation : but the others are caught in a snare.

349. The moment that attachments are broken, that very moment reincarnations cease : the man who breaketh them not continueth in vanity.

350. Take thou refuge in Him who hath conquered all attachments: and hold fast to that ark in order that all thy bonds may be broken.
