“The Hindu scriptures speak of the body as a machine fraught with six delusive deficiencies: ‘It exists; it is born; it grows; it changes; it decays; and it is completely annihilated.’ Yet most human beings expect permanent happiness from this impermanent body.”
We are called to be architects of the future, not its victims.
We meet our edge in the strangest places... we’re willing to jump off a bridge upside down, but we throw a tantrum when we can’t get a good cup of coffee.
