Pearls Of Wisdom

As spiritual practitioners, we should concentrate on our practice at all times. Be it in times of suffering, or in a happy situation, we should always remember God, and forget ourselves and the temptations in this world.

People in our world suffer because at this time, in this lifetime, we do not exert our best efforts to learn to help ourselves, to accomplish our missions, and to work out our karma of this time around. We always want to run away, but we can not get away even though we want to. Then we have to come back next time, when our lessons will be harder, and the interest will have increased.

We used to concentrate our attention on that kind of competition, and so we were blind, not smart enough. The more anxious a person is, the more he struggles. The more he fights, the worse he is in anything he does. On the contrary, now that we do not want to do or simply go about something casually, we do it well. The logic is very simple. It is because we are relaxed; our minds are not so eager to fight. Then suddenly our natural intelligence and wisdom emerge. The more relaxed we are, the better we will be in what we do.

Most people in the world like to have face; they protect their egos and do not deal with their faults impartially. However, if we did not deal with ourselves, then who could be more just than we? Even people from outside, Master or fellow practitioners can only tell you by words. They can not watch us all the time. We have to learn to be just. Only then could we speak impartially to others, and only then could others listen to us.
