Today’s Inspirational Quote:
“Never stop fighting until you arrive at your destined place – that is, the unique you. Have an aim in life, continuously acquire knowledge, work hard, and have perseverance to realize the great life.”
— A.P.J. Abdul Kalam
Spiritual life is the real life. Everywhere there is bliss and nothing but bliss. Every moment, every hour, every day, I continually experience it. This bliss is in everyone and I am pondering how to make the world [mankind] aspire to and taste this bliss.
But there is a ‘lock’ put on it and only I have the ‘key.’ ” That is why I only smile at all these ‘excitements’ in the world.”
Lord Meher Online 1288
Spiritual wisdom does not consist in the unquestioning acceptance of the ways of the world. The ways of the world are almost always a collective effect of the actions of materially inclined people.
Worldly people consider something to be right and make it right for persons of similar inclination. Therefore the blind following of convention does not necessarily secure wise action.
The life of the spirit cannot be a life of uncritical imitation; it must have its basis in the true understanding of values.
