Blessed
In ordinary life we hardly realize that we receive a great deal more than we give,
and that it is only with gratitude that life becomes rich
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Want, don’t want
The more likes and dislikes we have, the more physical and psycho-somatic problems we are likely to develop, worst of all, the more turmoil we will feel inside.
People with strong likes and dislikes go about with a sign that says ‘upset me.’
Everywhere they go, they meet a lot of other people wearing the same sign who are only to happy to oblige
Eknath Easwaran, 1910 – 1999, Indian-born spiritual teacher, author, The Bhagavad Gita for Daily Living
Sunday Quote: Natural goodness
The sun, too, shines into cesspools, and is not polluted
Diogenes Laertius, 180 – 240 AD, Book VI: The Cynics
Mysterious
A man who has never experienced this has missed something important. He must sense that he lives in a world which in some respects is mysterious; that things happen and can be experienced which remain inexplicable; that not everything which happens can be anticipated. The unexpected and the incredible belong in this world. Only then is life whole.
For me the world has from the beginning been infinite and ungraspable.
Carl Jung
