Via Ram Dass
One
day in India on my second stay, Maharaji said to me, “You don’t have to
change anybody; you just have to love them.” In relationships, when the
other person doesn’t fit into your model of how heaven would be, you
don’t have to play God. You just have to love individual differences and
appreciate them the way they are. Because love is the most powerful
medicine.
Via Daily Dharma / November 2, 2016: No Thought Lasts for Long
Spending
time with your own mind is humbling and broadening. One finds that
there’s no one in charge, and is reminded that no thought lasts for
long.
