Samvega | March 17, 2014
I will tell of how I experienced samvega.
Seeing people floundering like fish in small puddles, competing with
one another—as I saw this, fear came into me. The world was entirely
without substance. All the directions were knocked out of line. Wanting a
haven for myself, I saw nothing that wasn’t laid claim to. Seeing
nothing in the end but competition, I felt discontent.
—The Buddha, "The Dismay of Motherhood"
