It is hard to find a man who has desire for what he has not tasted, or who tastes the world and is untouched. Here in the world some crave pleasure, some seek freedom but it is hard to find a man who wants neither. It is hard to find a man who has an open mind, who neither seeks nor shuns wealth or pleasure, duty or liberation, life or death…He does not want the world to end. He does not mind if it lasts. Whatever befalls him, He lives in happiness.
You are the centre of that world. That is the world you live in. Now how will you change the world? By changing yourself.
I believe compassion to be one of the few things we can practice that will bring immediate and long-term happiness to our lives.
The real bath is to remove the dirt of the mind. Cleanliness is control of the senses. True wisdom is to see oneness everywhere.
Slowly and steadily cleanse the mind; sharpen the intellect, purify the senses, and win grace.
