a few words...

Most of the quotes and teachings have about ten to twelve readers thoughout the world but one posting of only a few lines have already reached 195 readers..

the word... strange, enters my mind..

these fewest of sentences are grasped by more than any other quote or teaching..

below is the quote..
''''''''

"Human birth,

the desire for liberation,

and the
company of the wise are rare thing on this earth.

Those who are blest with all three are the most

favored of men.

Sri Shankaracharya
in Whitall N. Perry
_A Treasury of Traditional Wisdom_
Varanasi: Indica, 1998 (1971), p. 261

........................


birth,liberation, and wise humans, draw the most response..

how strange that these few words draw so many to think and read..

perhaps, it only requires a few words to enter Enlightenment...
