There are very few things in this life that cannot be taken from you. Your integrity is one of those things. You can give it away, or even sell it, but no matter what price you get for it, it will never be enough, as you can never get it back once you have let it go. Quote from my Dad.

We trained hard—but it seemed that every time we were beginning to form up into teams we were reorganized. I was to learn later in life that we tend to meet any new situation by reorganizing, and what a wonderful method it can be for creating the illusion of progress while actually producing confusion, inefficiency, and demoralization.

 

 

A man who is always ready to believe what is told him will never do well.

A person can be pinned down by knowledge, to truly be free and limitless one needs to experience imagination.  For imagination is truly limitless!

This! The mind is for creating. Computers and books for storage.

Today's Maku mozo! 

 

 

Just know how to put all mental activity to rest and thus achieve

tranquility. Certainly do not begin by thinking things out and end up in

perplexity.

 

-Huang Po

 

 

 

The truth beyond mind cannot be grasped by any faculty of mind; the

meaning of non-action cannot be understood in compulsive activity; to

realise the meaning of non-action and beyond mind, cut the mind at its

root and rest in naked awareness.

 

-Tilopa

 

 

 

If you were able to put a stop to the mentality in which every thought is

running after something, then you would be no different from a Zen master

or a buddha.

Thanks. I'm a big fan of Sri Atmananda. I have a 500 page download of his... Notes on Spiritual Discourses of Shri Atmananda. Never stop going through it.
