Guest guest Posted November 13, 2007 Report Share Posted November 13, 2007 Absolutely true. Why so? true wisdom is enlightenment, the wisdom to know that there is no world of your own, it is the world of your own that makes you at times happy and other times sad. When this burden is removed from your chest an inner lightness, an inner freshness and an inner cheerfullness dawns and sets in, because the newly discovered life is not against you and will not harm you on the contraray it will carry you, jusy like when a mother carries her infant. h In Nisargadatta , " tom " <jeusisbuen wrote: > > The sign of wisdom is an invincible cheerfulness--french saying > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
