The Boat

The Boat

    The day the primitive man contrived the boat he made a long stride in his conquest of Nature. 

      The boat can be used only in water and not on land. The boat may be in water but no water should get into the boat. Earthly life is similar to the boat on water. Man may live in the world. But worldly desire should not get into his heart. It will drown him. All misery is due to earthly desire. 

         Be in the world, but be not of the world if you want bliss.
