You Lose YOU In Thought Waves Yoga Sutra 4

'Vruddhi Saarubya Mithradhratha' (Sutra 1.4)

You become distant from you true nature when you are lost in the Thought waves,c

Once we give room for thought waves, this is by our interaction with sense objects,after a while we become immersed in them.

As seen in the earlier Sutra, we become Happy or Sad only when we give in to the thoughts of the objects.

After a while, the object may not be physically present, yet the Thoughts about them persist.

There is fable on this, narrated by Sri Ramakrishna Parama Hamsa.

Two Sanyasins(the Renounced) were walking on the road.

They saw a beautiful woman unable to walk.

The mellifluous voice that enthralled the music lovers of Tamil,Kannada,and Telugu people is no more.

A simple man who could sing effortlessly in all the languages of India with perfect local accent and linguist passed away in Chennai on 14 , the Tamil New Year's Day yesterday .

I met him in Hotel Woodlands Drive in Restaurant, Chennai,which is his favorite haunt, when I was studying my Degree between 1967-70.

He used to sit in the Drive in , wit ha cloth shoulder bag, about a dozen pens, and a thick ruled note book-with a plate of Rava Kitchdi in front of him.

I approached him and started talking to him as if I knew him about his various songs.

I asked him why he had so many pens with him(can you think of any thing more silly to ask of a legend? )

He replied that he could write well in about 12 languages, including Sanskrit , pen poems and lyrics and used a different pen for each language.
He added that he had written about one lakh poems, this he expressed as a matter of fact, no airs!

He was so humble that he spent nearly 20 minutes with a green horn with out any airs.

PBS would pronounce words as he is afraid that he might hurt the words.
