Total Thoughts – Monday, Sep 28, 2009 - The Four-Fold Qualification

  • All expressions of life are impermanent, life itself, is permanent
  • Change is the only constant in the world. The moment we understand this, the happier we become as we stop pursuing temporary happiness in objects, people, places, things, and time
  • By changing our inner perspective through discrimination of real vs. unreal we shed light upon that which brings us closer to Reality
  • Even the desire of desirelessness fades as we become our goal, similarly, right thinking becomes our nature once we overcome wrong thinking
  • Only with oneness can there be peace, not with duality
  • Although limited, we fail to use our body, mind and intellect effectively. We have the power of discrimination, yet we employ it in meaningless actions and thoughts. Through correct thinking and viveka we are able to use the limiting, and go beyond it to the limitless.
