[Advaita-l] A word of wisdom from a Bauddha text

[V Subrahmanian]

*दीर्घा वै जाग्रतो रात्रिः दीर्घं श्रान्तस्य योजनम्।दीर्घो बालानां संसारः
सद्धर्मंम् अविजानताम्।।*
-बौद्ध ग्रंथ धम्मपद (बालवर्ग, गाथा 1)

The night appears too long for the one who is awake all through the night;
even a short distance of a “yojan” appears very long for the one who is too
tired.
Similarly, life appears to be too long to the ignorant people who do not
know what True Dharma is!
