What is the appropriate behavior..............

What is the appropriate behavior 

for a man or a woman 

in the midst of this world, 

where each person is clinging to 

his piece of debris? 

What’s the proper salutation 

between people as they pass 

each other in this flood?

       *       *       *       *       *

Let none find fault with others; 

let none see the omissions and 

commissions of others. 

But let one see one’s own acts, 

done and undone.

-- Gautama Budha.

Being Lured.......

It is a man’s own mind, 

not his enemy or foe, 

that lures him to evil ways.

-- Gautama Budha.

Distinctions... and Difference........

In the sky, 

there is no distinction of east and west; 

people create distinctions 

out of their own minds and 

then believe them to be true.

-- Gautama Budha.

Verifiability......

Verifiability is not about 

His word or Her word or Their word Or

A belief....A tradition .... A custom etc...

It is not even about what

A judge would admit or not

It is about finding for oneself 

What was /and is...

Thus spoke the grey parrot

When Men became mute.

Real Learning....

Real learning comes about 

When the competitive spirit 

has ceased.

― Jiddu Krishnamurti.
