('Behold the Sacred Lotus Flower', by Satguru Bodhinatha Veylanswami)
|
Life follows life as we live and learn
|
Finally we get some control over our instincts
|
And move up into the water which is the intellectual mind
|
Become a thinking person, someone who is able to make decisions logically
|
Someone who has basic control over the instinctive emotions
|
So that when threatened he or she doesn't automatically become angry and fight
|
