At the end if the day…
At the end of the day, I have to ask myself… was I a better person and did I did I do more of what was needed than yesterday?
Humanity
On the self..
The whole moon and the entire sky are reflected in one dewdrop on the grass.
~ Dogen ~
On being rich..
You are really rich when you enjoy yourself as you are, when you are contented with what you have.
~ Shanti ~
On Knowledge..
Do not think that the knowledge you presently possess is changeless, absolute truth. Truth is found in life and not merely in conceptual knowledge. Be ready to learn throughout your entire life and to observe reality in yourself and in the world at all times.
~ Thich Nhat Hanh ~
On extreme limits..
When you get sick of being sick, you stop being sick.
The sage has gotten sick of being sick,
therefore he is no longer sick!
~ Lao Tzu ~
On Precious Evolution
It is a sign of spiritual maturity when the individual experiences for him – or herself a powerful urgency to evolve. A sign of maturity, in a spiritual context, is knowing how precious
every moment actually is.
~ Andrew Cohen ~
Perspective.
There are two kinds of people… those to whom roses have thorns, and those to whom thorns have roses.
On Importance..
You think you are great.
You think you are very special.
Yeah… everybody does!
Nobody is great, nobody is special.
We are all tiny human beings we cannot even see when looking from the sky!
~ Nhasti ~
On being the change…
Live and be the change you would like to see in the world. Too often we act exactly the same old way, we just think we are different but in reality we repeat unconsciously the same old patterns.
Be more watchful.
~ Dharma ~
Quote of the day
Another flaw in the human character is that everybody wants to build and nobody wants to do maintenance.
