Rajiv Pande:
The "gold standard" test of any truth or wisdom or spiritual revelation or insight is: does it increase your love for your fellow humans and for the world? Does it release you of inhibitions and differences and makes you want to just hug everybody with joy? Does it suddenly bring you closer to someone or something you never fully understood?
Rajiv Pande: When we are struggling for truth, seeking and struggling and striving, we are lonely, egotistical, aloof, defensive, argumentative...it is never a good feeling to be always on the way - always getting somewhere but not quite getting there. I know when I get uptight and irritable that I am not yet ready for any truth.
Ra Divakar: "Now, scholars can be very useful and necessary, in their own dull and unamusing way. They provide a lot of information. It's just that there is Something More, and that Something More is what life is all about." (THE TAO OF POOH by Benjamin Hoff)
Blessing must arise from within your own mind. It is not something that comes from outside. When the positive qualities of your mind increase and the negativities decrease, that is what blessing means. The Tibetan word for blessing … means transforming into magnificent potential. Therefore, blessing refers to the development of virtuous qualities you did not previously have and the improvement of those good qualities you have already developed. ― Dalai Lama XIV
