|    Divine and demonic natures    |

      From: mantralectric@gmail.com              In this world there are two kinds of created beings. One is called the divine       and the other demonic. Those who are demoniac do not know what is to be done       and what is not to be done. Neither cleanliness nor proper behavior nor truth       is found in them.               Fearlessness, purification of one's existence, cultivation of spiritual       knowledge, charity, self-control, performance of sacrifice, study of the       Vedas, austerity and simplicity; nonviolence, truthfulness, freedom from       anger; renunciation, tranquility,        aversion to faultfinding, compassion and freedom from covetousness;       gentleness, modesty and steady determination; vigor, forgiveness, fortitude,       cleanliness, freedom from envy and the passion for honor-these transcendental       qualities, belong to godly men        endowed with divine nature.               Arrogance, pride, anger, conceit, harshness and ignorance-these qualities       belong to those of demonic nature. The divine qualities are conducive to       liberation, whereas the demonic qualities make for bondage.              asitis.com              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
