the love of those who are unawakened
arises from emotions.

the love of those who are awakened
is born of wisdom.

this love is
impartial,
unconditional,
all-encompassing.

greed
is wanting things
to occur as we wish.

anger
arises when we fail
to obtain what we want.

a lute’s strings tightly strung will break
strings loosely strung will not play
with balance, comes a pleasing sound.

just as with a lute
serenity is found when one’s life is
properly balanced.

think first.

once a word is spoken
or an act committed,
we cannot undo the deed.

apologies
retractions
explanations

may lessen, but cannot undo
the harm done,
the pain that will remain.

think first.

a deeply rooted tree
which is cut down
will grow again.

like that tree
intolerance that is not uprooted
will rise again.

the self is not an independent entity
with an individual existence,

but a convenient point of reference
which enables us to relate
to the world around us and
to the circumstances we encounter.

be wary of actions —

for the occasional reaction

can become an addictive habit.

the acorn and oak tree are separate;
or are they?

the wood and flame are separate;
or are they?

the act and actor are separate;
or are they?

we are alone and separate from all else;
or are we?

men have acted ignobly,

in the name of peace,
men have declared war.

when about to speak
of one to another,
consider first if you would say it directly
to that person —
same intention
same words
same tone,

if not, it is best to remain silent.

once the thought arises
the word is spoken,
and the deed is done.
the thought
the word
the deed
will live on and impact others long after
we have ceased
thinking
speaking
doing.
