Edge of a sword....contd.


Brathrihari has this to say about the 'Power of fate'.

Success or failure of men lies in the hands of fate alone.

When the branches of a tree is cut , its shoots grow again. The moon wanes and waxes.Thus wise men reflect and are not overwhelmed by distress.

A bald headed man was scorched by fierce rays of the sun. Fate guided him to the shade of a palm tree . Whilst resting , the fruit of the tree fell on his head with a loud crash and broke it.Wherever the unfortunate man goes he meets disaster!

It is not sun's fault that the owl cannot see at day.
Who can interfere with what fate has written on the forehead of us all ?
