Someone I know recently met someone else I know.
One of them took the efforts of finding out that the other person loves horses.
So he gifted him a horse encyclopedia. And that connection just skyrocketed, potentially opening future doors for collaboration.
All’s well that ends well!
And then I saw this quote now:
Just as a horse can be controlled by a bridle, the sensual pleasures and passions can be overcome by knowledge, meditation and power of penance. A well controlled horse that gallops fast reaches its destination safely. And sense organs well controlled by the reins of scriptural knowledge can help in realizing the Self.
