The Impossibility of Escaping Our Past

English Translation · I.P. 327

DESIRES add to our guilt; the touch of the past cannot be changed. These are profitable words; it is Narayana who has pronounced them. You have what your past has assigned you by a fixed rule; exertions will leave you with nothing but exertions. Tuka says, If you embrace peace, it will bestow joy upon you. IMPOSSIBILITY OP ESCAPING OUR PAST H7
