The Impossibility of Escaping Our Past

English Translation · I.P. 333

DO not imagine to bring together things discordant in their natures. What is to happen will happen because it is destined; what Narayana has ordained will come to pass. If you kill a cow to satisfy a hungry tiger, will it be called a meritorious deed? Tuka says, If a man is too lazy to think the matter out, his father and mother are asses. THE PBOBLEM OP ACTION UT.; nothing i$ Gained by marks of Caw or Austerities
