Points to Ponder

[Guest guest]

Man is superior to all creatures. He is superior to even the gods, for even the

latter have to take birth on earth as humans in order to attain salvation.

 

There are two principles to be free from worries. First, complete the work that

is necessary, and secondly forget what is unnecessary.

 

Just as the pleasure and sorrows, life and death, virtue and vice, dharma and

adharma of a dream do not affect the dreamer after he is awake because all that

he sees in the dream is nothing other than himself; similarly, an Enlightened

one, liberated from the bondage of life and death, remains untouched by the

pairs of opposites, as they are all but his own Self.
