Beauty



In the world view, everything has an opposite side to it.  But in the nature of Truth, they are only varying degrees of the same thing.

The goal is to reconcile the pairs of opposite, a flower in full bloom with one that is withered, and know there is no difference.   When you can apply that to all human behaviors which share such duality-- good and evil, for example, you are mastering your ego.

  1. To me its just too hard to accept evil. How is it ego if I freak out over some of the stuff on the net and tv?

    1. Hi,

      There is a paradox to studying spirituality. It asks only this of us:

      Focus only on what you are about -- love.

      Love can be found even in the harshest of circumstances, like a single rose that emerges through a crack in the city pavement. Look with those eyes exclusively.

      If all the world did the same, the evil would fall away.

      ~D~
