“Can suffering ensue from solicitude for others’ well-being? Can anyone possessing the philosopher’s stone suffer from want any longer ? Can the malevolent be free from anxiety? Can the sensualist escape obloquy? Can one’s posterity survive even though one has persecuted the BrŒhma˜as? Can one continue to perform actions (with attachment) even after attaining Self-Realization? Has anyone acquired sound wisdom while living in the company of the vicious? Can an adulterer attain a happy destiny? Can those who have realized God fall again into the ocean of transmigration? Can the revilers of Ýr¶ Hari be ever happy? Can a kingdom stand without a knowledge of statecraft? Can sins persist even after one has commenced narrating Ýr¶ Hari’s exploits? Can one enjoy sacred renown without religious merit and can anyone earn a bad reputation without a sin? Is there any gain as valuable as Devotion to Ýr¶ Hari, which is glorified alike by saints as well as by the Vedas and PurŒ˜as? And, brother, is there any loss in the world as grievous as that of the man who fails to adore Ýr¶ RŒma even after obtaining a human body? Is there any other sin so bad as backbiting or any virtue so great as compassion, O mount of Ýr¶ Hari?” In this way I mentally advanced numberless arguments in my favour and did not listen to the sage’s teaching with any reverence. Again and again I maintained the cause of the Sagu˜a form of worship (the worship of an embodied Deity), till at last the sage uttered these angry words : “Fool, you refuse to accept the supreme lesson I have been inculcating on you and indulge in endless arguments and counter- arguments. You give no credence to my authentic words and, like a crow, look on everything with distrust ! Fool, you are exceedingly self-opinionated; therefore, you shall at once take the form of a crow (the pariah among birds).” I bowed to the curse prohounced by the sage but felt neither alarmed nor humbled.
