Chandrasekhar
Oh, that's sanskrit language
Peter

Chandrasekhar
Whomsoever seeks to realize the Self through the gratification of the body, is like the one who wishes to cross a river in the back of a crocodile, thinking its a log and is thus destroyed
?

Peter
So it's criticisng hedonism. Is that from a scripture?
Chandrasekhar
No. It's a book by name "Vivekachoodamani" written by Adi Shankaracharya.
The discourses on these are available here:

Peter
20:12
Ok, thanks. I'm often baffled but those long names, they're composite right?
Chandrasekhar
Well in sanskrit everything has a meaning. Its a wonderful language. I am not talking on the side of it but as a neutral person viewing it
For example u might have heard of this name
Krishna:
Peter

Chandrasekhar
The root word of this name is Krish
which means
attract
krishna name = karshati iti krishna
means the one who attracts
