“As a man discards
worn-out clothes
to put on new
and different ones,
so the embodied self
discards
its worn-out bodies
to take on other new ones.

Fire does not burn it,
Waters do not wet it,
wind does not wither it;
it is enduring, all-pervasive, fixed, immovable, and timeless.” -Bhagavad Gita

“As the mountainous depths
of the ocean
are unmoved when waters
rush into it,
so the man unmoved
when desires enter him
attains a peace that eludes
the man of many desires.
(When he renounces all desires
and acts without craving or possessiveness,
he finds peace)
This is the place of the infinite spirit;
achieving it, one is freed from delusion;
abiding in it even at the time of death,
one finds the pure calm of infinity.” -Bhagavad Gita

his senses, mind, and understanding,

cold na dheat, joy and suffering,
he is free from attachment” -Bhagavad Gita

and of perfect joy” -Bhagavad Gita

gentleness, modesty, reliability;
Brilliance, patience, resolve,

-Manly Palmer Hall

When we learn from them and begin to work on ourselves we progress in our spiritual development. If we do not do this we remain stuck in the suffering and continue to replay the painful lessons.” -Chakras.net
