Knowledge/Wisdom
- To be truly informed we must rise above the realm of form to that of nonform.
- Ugliness veils subtle beauty and beauty hides ugliness. It is all a matter of time or perspective.
- We always seek affirmation. Most of us look for it amongst creation and are often disappointed.
- The Creator however never lets down the sincere seeker.
- Meditation which leads to higher consciousness is like a skylight in the human cave which lets in the beam of hope and freedom from the lumination of the self.
- The Collector of beautiful objects is trapped by his collection. The lover of beauty itself has transcended form to meaning and attachment to freedom.
- Art lovers and Collectors have personal opinions and the lover of beauty is thrilled by higher knowledge.
- Success is founded on acknowledgement of defeat. When the self is conquered, the spirit announces its triumph.
- Chaos is order whose rationale and reason has not yet been discovered.
- The truth is nearer to you than you think.
- Outer security lies in familiarity and the deeper the knowledge the stranger it seems.
- When anger is directed at its real deep cause there can be deep change. Often it is directed at the apparent cause. This is like blaming the mirror for reflecting back one’s own image. One must not blame the messenger, but look at the message or root cause.
- There are two types of difficulties and problems:
Type a) is a challenge to which to rise and look for a solution – it is a healthy way of life.
Type b) do not relate to solutions, they are just blocks, obstacles or emotional grief. Leave them. Problems that cannot be tackled, practically or rationally or are beyond your capacity often require time to resolve themselves. Often our reaction to these situation are emotional and counterproductive. - Success is merely a durable state of harmony as a result of expectations having been achieved.
- Outer success implies a smooth connection between expectations and results.
Inner success implies a state of constant ease, peace and contentment irrespective of outer conditions and changes. - Grief and suffering are experiences for which the antidote is its avoidance. The challenge is to reflect as to how that state came about in the first place. Attachments, expectations and perceptions are keys to this discovery.
- Your reading or understanding of any situation is much influenced by your inner state and condition.
- If you are curious as to how the subtle and unseen world works then study and
understand how this manifest world works first.
