judgements about others


 

Whenever we

indulge in judgements about others,

we obstruct our own peace of mind and progress.

We should choose instead to see the best in others,

allow them to come and go as they will, and

turn our energies inward, toward

self-improvement.

the sea is king of the valleys


 

The sea is

king of the valleys

and streams because it

is willing to be beneath them.

One who wishes to guide people

should be humble in her speech

toward them. One who wishes

to lead people must learn

the art of following

them.

 

The sage

is above the people,

but they don’t feel her weight.

She stays ahead of the people,

and no harm comes to them. She has

the affection of the whole world.

Because she contends with

no one, no one can

contend with

her.

Chapter 66

they see the divine in all forms

he did

 

In the East,

when we speak of saints

or sages, it is not because of their

miracles, it is because of their presence

and their countenance which radiate vibrations

of love. How does this love express itself? In tolerance,

in forgiveness, in respect, in overlooking the faults of others.

Their sympathy covers the defects of others as if they were

their own; they forget their own interest in the interest

of others. They do not mind what conditions they are

in; be they high or humble, their foreheads are

smiling. To their eyes everyone is the

expression of the Beloved, whose

name they repeat. They see the

divine in all forms and

in all beings.
