Wisdom tells me I am nothing. Love tells me I am everything. And between the two my life flows. -NISARGADATTA MAHARAJ

(0 Reviews)

Nisargadatta Maharaj's quote highlights the duality of human existence, where wisdom reveals our insignificance while love acknowledges our inherent value. This balance is crucial, suggesting that recognizing our small place in the universe fosters humility, while love empowers us to embrace our wholeness. This interplay influences the flow of our lives, guiding our thoughts and actions.

Mark Nepo's "The Book of Awakening" illustrates these themes as he encourages readers to be present and aware. It emphasizes the importance of understanding our true nature, the interplay of wisdom and love, and how this awareness can lead to a more fulfilling life. Ultimately, it calls for mindfulness as a pathway to deeper connections with ourselves and others.

People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.

You say you're 'depressed' - all i see is resilience. You are allowed to feel messed up and inside out. It doesn't mean you're defective - it just means you're human.
