To Be Extremely Self-centred, Only

As Free Human Beings We Can Use Our Unique Intelligence To Try To Understand Ourselves And Our World. But If We Are Prevented From Using Our Creative Potential, We Are Deprived Of One Of The Basic Characteristics Of A Human Being.

It’s In Our Interest To Take Care Of Others. Self-centrednes S Is Opposed To Basic Human Nature. In Our Own Interest As Human Beings We Need To Pay Attention To Our Inner Values. Sometimes People Think Compassion Is Only Of Help To Others, While We Get No Benefit. This Is A Mistake. When You Concern Yourself With Others, You Naturally Develop A Sense Of Self-confidence . To Help Others Takes Courage And Inner Strength.

However Capable And Skillful An Individual May Be, Left Alone, He Or She Will Not Survive. When We Are Sick Or Very Young Or Very Old, We Must Depend On The Support Of Others. There Is No Significant Division Between Us And Other People, Because Our Basic Natures Are The Same. If We Wish To Ensure Everyone's Peace And Happiness, We Need To Cultivate A Healthy Respect For The Diversity Of Our Peoples And Cultures, Founded On An Understanding Of This Fundamental Sameness Of All Human Beings.

Cultivating Inner Discipline Is Something That Takes Time; Expecting Rapid Results Is Simply A Sign Of Impatience.

If Through Practice Of Insight You Develop A Sense Of Ease, Then Time Has No Relevance. If You're Miserable, Time Does Matter. It's So Unbearable, So Enormous You Want To Get Out Of It As Soon As Possible.
