CROSSING THE RIVER OF SAMSARA

The river called desire is like water agitated by waves of greed,frequented by crocodile of attachment with doubts and uncertainties hovering around like birds destroys the tree of poise and fortitude. such a river with deep and unconquerable  whirlpool of delusion, flanked by tall and insurmountable banks of anxiety,only the pure minded yogis cross over and revel in  beatitude.------vairagyasatakam
