To
cut through the mind’s clinging, it is important to understand that all
appearances are void, like the appearance of water in a mirage.
Beautiful forms are of no benefit to the mind, nor can ugly forms harm
it in any way.
—Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, “Teachings on the Nature of Mind and Practice”

Via Daily Dharma: Cut Through Your Mind’s Clinging
Via Ram Dass - Love Serve Remember Foundation // Words of Wisdom - April 11, 2021 💌
The practice of repeating the phrase "I am loving awareness" turns you inward toward the soul. If you dive deep enough into your soul, you will come to God. In Greek it’s called 'agape', God love. Martin Luther King, Jr. said about this agape, this higher love:
“It’s an overflowing love which is purely spontaneous, unmotivated, groundless and creative … the love of God operating in the human heart.”
When you can accept that kind of love, you can give that love.
