When people are angry with you or you are angry with someone, don’t try to solve the problem, use it as a question to help us wake up further rather than lull into ignorance. We can use a difficult situation to encourage ourselves to take a leap, step out into that ambiguity.
We sometimes think of consciousness as something special, just for spiritually inclined people. This consciousness, this level of understanding, is available to all. All we have to do is reach out for it. If we are seekers, we shall find.
When we think we know the answers, we are difficult to guide. When we know we don’t know and keep a fresh open mind, we become fertile with possibilities. Be content with an ordinary life and you will be able to show others the way back to their original nature.
When good begins to prevail, this gives an incentive to those of ability to join this upward trend. Don’t be carried away with it, but adhere to what is right. Be aware that everything is transitory, because descent must follow every rise; this is a universal law.
Quote: I have learned to seek my happiness by limiting my desires, rather than in attempting to satisfy them. J.S. Mill
