Uncovering Buddha’s 6th Fold
- Aloneness: Aloneness and silence are two aspects of one experience, two sides of the same coin.
- The moment you become playful with yourself, that is meditatively you act.
- Rejoicing in your own aloneness is what meditation is all about.
- The moment you become aware of your aloneness you will drop fear of change – means you will drop all your consideration and put your best in your act.
- Your aloneness is your divineness.
- Giving & Sharing: True happiness and peace lies in detachment, not by renouncing wealth but rather by renouncing our sense of possession.
- Not because by sharing you will be helping others, no, but by sharing you will be growing. The more you share, the more you grow. It is not only a question of money. If you have knowledge, share it. If you have meditation, share it!
- Sharing is not about virtue or greed of the other world, a special place in heaven. It is about being happy here-now.
- Share! And let your sharing be spontaneous. When you have to give, give!
- Abundance: Two qualities of abundance are Aloneness and Love. A mindset full of these two qualities can see the limitless potential in life.
- Abundance is the very nature of existence, that richness is the very core, that existence does not believe in poverty.
- Distinction between Need and Desire.
- Money is something, which is meant to flow, to exchange hands, to move with the currents of what is needed in each changing moment.
- Out of God’s abundance everything is heaven. It should be so, it must be so, it has to be so. Out of his abundance is heaven, there can be no hell.
- Freedom: The biggest freedom is freedom for our own prison.
- Freedom for is a spiritual dimension because you are moving into the unknown and perhaps, one day, into the unknowable. It will give you wings.
- Freedom has its own discipline, but it is not forced by any authority. It comes out of your awareness, out of authenticity.
- Difference between Belief and Self-Discipline.
- Freedom is only an opportunity for you. It is not in itself the goal. It simply gives you the whole opportunity to do whatever you want to do.
- Giver Is Innocent: The first step, in the art of living, will be to create a demarcation line between ignorance and innocence.
- The state of ignorance is the cause of all delusions, of all unrealities, of all appearances, but to know more is not the state of knowledge.
- Ignorance is not absence of knowledge; ignorance is absence of awareness. Ignorance is metal Laziness. And Innocence is Divine, child-like with maturity.
- The moment you become innocent, you have found a direct line to the divine. Your heartbeat synchronises with the heartbeat of the universe.
- Buddha’s 6th Fold Right Commitment: Freedom is not the absence of commitments, but the ability to choose – and commit myself to – what is best for me.
- Realisation of accumulation is the beginning of Commitment with self is possible.
- Unless you are Commitment to yourself you cannot be Committed.
- People don’t know the beauties of commitment, they don’t know the joys of dedication. They don’t know what it means to be utterly dedicated to something. To be utterly dedicated to something means giving birth to a soul in you.
