Bhangli Damini, True. Our life is like Hermann Hesse's novel of two medieval men, one quietly content with his religion and monastic life, the other in fervent search of more worldly salvation called Narcissus and Goldmund . This conflict between flesh and spirit, between emotional and contemplative man. Personally,I think it is possible to live both life at the same time but only through detachment.The idea of renunciation here isn't about hunting remote jungles in Dadeldhura.Heck of a dauting task that is. But ultimate search leads to the same destiny.Remember and road leads to me(Krishna to Arjuna). It is purely solo adventure.No guru involved...if it's all within...guru is within too.Hoina ta?:)
