"First,
they laugh at you. Then, they get angry at you.
Then, they attack you. Then, you win!"
Mahatma Ghandi
"My
reflection on the current world situation is that everyone
is doing what he or she thinks is right and has an opinion that
someone else is wrong. Right and wrong is born out of duality.
There is no peace in duality. There is no resolution in right and
wrong. In duality there is inner conflict which is projected out
into the world as conflict that all of us can see. We are here to
see it. We are to be reminded to go inside and resolve our
own inner conflict. To remove ourselves from duality and to
achieve inner peace we are required to nonjudgmentally be
with life exactly the way it IS. We are not required to like what
we are witnessing. But we are required not to judge it. Our
inner peace will create outer peace. When we witness peace in
the world, we know that our job is done. Then we can enjoy
together, the fruits of our work."
Yogi
Bhajan
"Underneath
the superficial self, which pays attention to this and that, there
is
another self more really us than I. And the more you become aware
of the
unknown self -- if you become aware of it -- the more you realize
that it is
inseparably connected with everything else that is. You are a function
of this total
galaxy, bounded by the Milky Way, and this galaxy is a function of
all other galaxies.
You are that vast thing that you see far, far off with great telescopes.
You look and
look, and one day you are going to wake up and say, "Why, that's
me!" And in
knowing that, you know that you never die. You are the eternal thing
that comes
and goes, that appears -- now as John Jones, now as Mary Smith, now
as Betty Brown -- and so it goes, forever and ever and ever."
Alan
Watts
"It
is my resistance to what IS which causes my suffering."
The Dalai Lama
"Go
home and love your family."
Mother Teresa
And
then there's this view from the 19th century,
which is still around, today.
"In
all theatres of global conflict today, the lesson to
be learned by mankind is tolerance for one another."
