Discussion-5. "disappointed fox and a Nero rejecting "- "grapes are sour and grapes not really perfect"!!!
There is a lot of difference between the disappointed fox proverbially crying "the grapes are sour," and a Nero rejecting his golden plate of grapes declaring it to be "not really perfect"!!
Desirelessness and the state of mental poise gained therein by the Master are because of his realisation of the Self and the state of Absolute Bliss.
After a complete dinner and plenty of dessert, a fully satisfied glutton will certainly cry "NO" to any loving offer of yet another slice of toast and butter as far as he is concerned;
for the time being at least, he is desireless in the kingdom of food.
Similarly, a moment of total satiation comes, in experiencing the perfection of the Self, so that the Master of realisation cries "NO" to all material sense-objects; not because they do not contain any glitter of joy, but, because, from his standpoint, these tiny toys-of-life have no more any joy contents when they are compared to the "INFINITE TREASURE" of joy which has already become his!
