“Our mind is bound by the five gross attachments: ego, greed, lust, anger, and jealousy.”
Sri Swami Vishwananda
A small story about attachment to the ego and anger versus Love:
One day, a certain
Guru was sitting by the sacred Ganges River in the Himalayas of India talking
to his Disciple. The Guru asked his Disciple how he felt about a tragedy that
had recently taken place in his life. The Disciple said, “I feel I have two
tigers fighting in my heart. One tiger is a vengeful, angry, attacking one. The
other tiger is a loving, compassionate one.” The Guru asked his Disciple, “Which
tiger will win the fight in your heart?”
The Disciple answered wisely, “The one I feed.”
