"But one is the path of earthly wealth, and another is the path of NIRVANA. Let the follower of Buddha think of this and, without striving for reputation, let him ever strive after freedom." The Dhmmapada 3rd century B.C. Forever it seems we have jostled between the two worlds in awe and bewilderment. The world of the visible and the unseen world of the spirit. like the quick silver is the state of the spirit, if one trys to hold on tighter, all is lost.The wise sage resides not in the knowing of things but in the being part of the mystery. Now he is a man, Now he is not. One is the path of Earthly ways and another is the path of NIRVANA.
I am really trying to keep my usual positive and hopeful attitude towards our humanity and mankind in general, but recent events have brought the old anger back in me which is really frustration and anxiety about Politicians and the money mongers of the world about which I can take no real action of any significance. I see hunger and destitude in the masses of this U.S. of A, the richest country on earth, I see the very weak and the elderly, the homeless and the hard working class suffer while the political will of some nuts is runnning amock! God help me to accept what I can change and that over which I have no control, and please God give me the wisdom to know the difference. It is nothing new, just different land, different time in the history of the ignorant man and the greed of the fools!
