It's just another day for me. I was surprised when I looked up Friday the 13th to see the number of people who do have reactions to the date. The only time I think of 13 at all is when I purchase donuts or bagels. Is it a bakers dozen or a dozen for that price?
Dark chocolate is my favorite as well. I agree totally unadulterated chocolate is the only way to go. My husband teases me about a purist. My ice cream unadorned, my coffee black... no sweeteners or creamer for me.
"It would almost be arrogant to assume that out of countless billions of galaxies, each with billions of stars, and an increasing number of confirmed exoplanets, Earth is the only place where life has emerged." I have this argument with my mother constantly
Sannyasa is the giving up of the ego.
Even though a person may be living as a householder in the family circle, the various occurrences of the world will not affect him if his ego is surrendered.
Just like dream experiences do not really affect us. As he quietly lies in his bed, a man dreams he is in water, but his bed is not really wet. On the other hand, a person in the sannyasa ashram,
yet who is still attached to the body, is a karmi (person of action, not renunciation).
So long as anyone thinks that they are a sannyasin, they are not one. So long as one does not think of world-illusion, one is not worldly but is a real sannyasin.
