Touch your heart or let your heart be touched, you will discover how much warmth and gentleness is there, how much space. This feeling turns into a longing to be fully human. It turns into a longing to be there for friends in trouble, and to be of real help for our planet.
We may forget purity in our lives, we may allow our minds to be sullied with frivolous entertainment. We may think loyalty is a charming but meaningless virtue. Purity in all aspects of our lives is not easy, not common; it is a state best attained without compromise.
Your mind is like the sky, if it’s cloudy you will not see it, but that doesn’t mean it’s not there. All our miseries and conflicts are created by the activity of the mind. Keep your mind still, look inside, and see the truth that is always available, always responsive.
If we can bring ourselves to set aside pride and follow the examples of good people, good fortune will result. If we associate with people sharing the same views and come together in full public knowledge, without selfish motives, then you are in harmony with the times.
Quote: Nothing exists in our world that did not first exist as pure thought.
