[Buddha-l] Withdrawal of the senses

[Dan Lusthaus]

a few corrections/revisions:

> Ch. 11 of the Gita has Krsna give Arjuna a divine eye: The "vision"
> initially impresses him with its beauty (light of a thousand sons),

obviously, that should be "suns," not "sons."

> The result is he fawns and supplicates himself to Krsna, which the Gita
> explains at the end of ch. 11 and the entire ch. 12, is what bhakti is.

That is a fear response, to protect oneself from further harm or danger.


> World religious literature is filled with visions. In translation many
sound
> similar. Read carefully in context [IN THEIR OWN LANGUAGES] they are all
very different.
