Free Mind

A free mind is a mind that is open to everything and attached to nothing. Most people spend much of their time looking for reasons to be offended. An open mind is never offended because it is free of any attachments. It is never the self that is offended but always the illusion that the self has of itself that is affected by insult! If you can really understand this, deeply grasp it?s truth, live it each day, then pain will be no more. Next time you ?feel? offended look closely within yourself at yourself and ask yourself what was offended? If you remain aware you will see that it was only an image of yourself which you had become attached to, and that image did not resonate with the image contained in the insult. If you weren?t attached, if you didn?t identify with the wrong image of yourself then there would be no offence taken. You would then remain free and therefore happy. :puffy:

OUR PATH
They are not long, the weeping and the laughter,
Love and desire and hate:
I think they have no portion in us after
We pass the gate.
They are not long, the days of wine and roses;
Out of a misty dream
Our path emerges for a while, then closes
Within a dream.
… Ernest Dowson

of a good universe next door; let’s go -- ee cummings
Vae, puto deus fio.... -- Vespasian
Forsan et haec olim meminisse iuvabit. -- Virgil

The Power of Truth

The power of Truth is such that you need never be concerned about proving it. You need only be concerned with being it and living it. Truth is always revealed, at the right moment, at the right place. It is for this reason that the simplest, most powerful expression of truth is humility. Real humility results in so much power of truth and inner silence that you don't need to say anything at all in words. The power of humility allows you to see the benefit in everything, even in the insults of others.

Any glimpse into the life of an animal quickens our own and makes it so much the larger and better in every way.
