Let Us Free The World

I have no idea who you are.

I know what it is that you do,
and where it is that you go.

But I have no idea of how you
face the perpetual challenge
that each day brings.

Or of what it is that
hurts your heart.

Or gives your very soul
cause to wake.

And in not knowing you,
there is a part of me
that will lie
forever asleep.

Of this I am certain.

katherine ng.com: The Art of Living: My Vipassana Experience

wordslessspoken:

kathyjah:

I am back.

I was away for 12 days, cut off from the outside world in a remote area of the Pahang tropics. There is a Vipassana meditation centre there, where I stayed to be trained in Vipassana, under Sayagyi U Bak Khin’s protege, S. N. Goenka. Every Vipassana centre is a holy sanctuary, visited…

Great post about her Vipassana Retreat experience in Malayasia. Well worth reading.

People will show you who they are, but we ignore it because we want them to be who we want them to be.

The Tao of Pooh

lazyyogi:

“When you wake up in the morning, Pooh,” said Piglet at last, “what’s the first thing you say to yourself?”

“What’s for breakfast? said Pooh. “What do you say, Piglet?”

“I say, I wonder what’s going to happen exciting today?” said Piglet.

Pooh nodded thoughtfully.“It’s the same thing,” he said.


I’m going to keep this in mind tomorrow morning when my alarm goes off. :P

your hearts know in silence the secrets of the days and the nights.

Kahlil Gibran said that, and he was right. Listen, therefore, to your heart. Cultivate the ability to do this. Practice it. Produce it. Perfect it.

It is not that difficult. Just be quiet with yourself. And for heaven’s sake, stop listening to your mind. You will not find the truth there. You may find the answer, but it will not be the truth unless it coincides with the answer in your heart.

You think there is more to know about life than this, but there is not. Your heart holds the key. Your heart holds the wisdom. Your heart holds the future. Your mind knows nothing but the past. It imagines the future will be just like yesterday, so it makes it decisions based on that. Only your heart can see beyond memory’s horizon.

When another person makes you suffer, it is because he suffers deeply within himself, and his suffering is spilling over. He does not need punishment; he needs help. That’s the message he is sending.
