When I was in the military they gave me a medal for killing two men and a discharge for loving one.
Truth is a pathless land, and you cannot approach it by any path whatsoever, by any religion, by any sect.
Each of us in our own way can try to spread compassion into people’s hearts. Western civilizations these days place great importance on filling the human ‘brain’ with knowledge, but no one seems to care about filling the human ‘heart’ with compassion.
He who knows his soul knows this truth: “I am beyond everything finite; I now see that the Spirit, alone in a space with its ever-new joy, has expressed itself as the vast body of nature…I am the wisdom and power that sustain all creation.”
I am no bird; and no net ensnares me: I am a free human being with an independent will.
