The whole of nature in its beauty - M

A human being is a part of a whole, 
called by us universe, 
a part limited in time and space. 

He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings 
as something separated from the rest.
A kind of optical delusion of his consciousness.

This delusion is a kind of prison for us, 
restricting us to our personal desires 
and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. 

Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison 
by widening our circle of compassion,
to embrace all living creatures 
and the whole of nature in its beauty.

. - Sara


"Untie yourself. Get rid of the knots. Forgive your father. Forgive your mother. Forgive your brothers. Forgive your sisters. Forgive your children. Forgive your lover. Forgive your teachers. Forgive your heroes. Forgive a late ride. Forgive cold food. Forgive working late. Forgive being 5 cents short. Forgive those who have wronged you. Forgive those who will wrong you.
The last knot is always the hardest. It’s also the most important.

Forgive yourself.

And then you are free."
