A man who can see flattery and blame as the same… and pain and suffering as joy, a man who can be passionate and dispassionate at the same time… is free. And a man who can keep his mind focused upon the power of peace within… that man will find ever lasting bliss.
For emotions are like tree roots meeting a large rock… it can push with all its might but nothing will happen. But roots that turn and direct their energy in a different way (changing emotions into actions of compassion) will find nourishment for the soul.
“Oh God, I will let go of emotional turmoil and set my energy free”
