To adore Name and Form is against the basic teaching of Vedanta; for, you must educate yourself into ignoring the evanescent, temporary and superficial. Unless you have discovered your identity with all, and the identity of all within oneself, you cannot win the waveless calmness, the steady flame! Give up the fancy for the fantastic objective world, give up until you reach the stage, when there is no "giver-gift-giving," when there is no "beginning-continuing-ending." Sage Narada learnt from sage Sanathkumara that he can acquire Shanti (peace) only when he knows that he is an embodiment of Shanti! Ashanti (restlessness) is something that possesses one like a phobia which has no grounding! Shake it off! You are free! It is the role that is tragic; not the actor! Remind yourself that it is a play and that you are playing the role of a tragic hero! Sage Narada learnt this and his equanimity was never again disturbed!
