The egotist state ---Drupaddatih.Sri Desikan's neevi

3.**One can draw a picture of the sun as a round object on paper or wall but cannot draw its radiance!

Similarly one can dress like a righteous one , decorate one's forehead with namum[white mark] but cannot become a acharya , merely with these outward disguises.

9.**The lion and the fox live in the forest ,have sharp claws and eat flesh. The similarity ends there! An lion can break the skull of the elephant with its paws . Can a lowly fox striving for equality ever compete with a lion's prowess?

Similarily a simpleton and a scholar may live in a same village , dress in a the same fashion and even attend the same meetings. But can that person equal the scholar in his depth of knowledge?

8.Duryanamapi satkare gunasali vimardinam anagama vidam yaktam apaniter nivaranam|

Those in power may have superior administrative skills . But if their acts are not just and right they are Dushtas , self contented and leading empty lives , wallowing in mud of pride!

To be contd.
