"One of the insights was the source of all our emotions is inside, and the outside events just act as a trigger, and all feelings mental and physical are transient." This is a deep truth that took me most of my lifetime to learn. And even knowing it, I have to keep remembering it.
I've spent a couple of hours clicking on your links and discovering so many people and ideas I had never heard of nor thought about. I'll have to come back to that. I see in you a joyful, brilliant observer of life, asking questions that open my mind to possibilities. It's been a joy to read your thoughts. I wrote saved several things you wrote with clarity because I felt aligned with the truth you spoke.
My own experience and through SSp stories, I felt love was a more powerful resource for change than money, and love is not a zero-sum game. If I have your love, then all other resources like money can flow from that (but one more interesting thought, that if I have your love, maybe we won’t even need anything else. We all intuitively know that couples who eat street-food with love are wealthier than those who eat 5-star food with less love)."
"At first when I felt that service was important for me, I found it easier to be kind to strangers, than to people closest to me. Not that I was running away from my family, but I see the pitfalls of trying to ‘fix things’ without enough internal balance. For me, charity at home is a more mature milestone in the journey of service which I am trying to tune into now."
"So I guess my aim is just to be peaceful, and try to spread peace in small ways around me."
Thank you, Rohit.
