RE: “Be The Change You Wish To See In The World” — Misattributed, Misused, And Obscenely Underappreciated
Please allow me to respectfully suggest , as a meditative exercise, to not use the first person pronoun as much as 58 times in a post to explain a quote from such a spiritual teacher as the Mahatma.
My feeling is that any eastern spiritual teaching conveys, in its essence, a notion that "The water is drunk" as opposed to "I drink the water". 🕉
✌💛
The question is, why is the water drunk..
The body was thirsty.
And how do you know that, or better, why do you think you are privy to that?
When one scratches an itch, without awareness, what body signals are involved? My feeling is that one would need to consult a biologist to get a proper explaination.
Stephen Levine explained mindfullness as feeling the itch before you scratch it. That may be worth pondering instead of spending your time scratching at this thread. 😎
When the body is aware of an itch, much like it's aware of thirst, does the body scratch or do you?
A good question to take to your cushion, Grasshopper. 😎
