Thought for the week

So long as a mango-tree has fruits on it, it is not simply desirable but even essential that it must have a watchman to guard it. But once the fruits are ripe and are removed to the owner’s house, the watchman may be safely dispensed with. Similarly, so long as a man is under the influence of Avidyā, it is binding upon him that he should obey the orders of the Vedas. But once a man has transcended body-consciousness, his soul being merged in Brahman, he may be said to have transcended also the limitations of Vedic orders. (Mysticism in Maharashtra, Page 244)
