Rastafari Speaks

Re: Retirement
In Response To: Retirement *LINK* ()

Greetings General
Give thanks for the reasonings.

Stay wise in these giddeon times!

I will leave you some words to live by. It is a favorite of mines that tend to keep me grounded and in perspective.

Bless up

"A lover of wisdom came to one who secluded himself in meditation and asked to be accepted as one of them. The master of meditation replied, "My son, may you be blessed from heaven, for your intention is good.

But let me know: Have you attained equanimity or not?"

He responded, "Master, clarify your words."

He explained, "My son, if one person honors you and another humiliates you, are the two equal in your eyes or not?"

He answered, "By the life of your soul, my master! I do feel pleasure and satisfaction from one who honors me and pain from the one who humiliates me - but I am not vengeful nor do I bear a grudge."

The master said, "My son, go away in peace. For as long as you have not attained equanimity and still feel humiliation
from something done to you, you are not ready for your thought to be linked on high. You are not ready to come and seclude yourself in meditation. But go and humble your heart further, genuinely, until you attain equanimity. Then you can experience aloneness"

-Rabbi Avner
