My Dog Is Having Strokes
The other day I saw
a rich standing in front of the temple.
tended his hands full of stones
all passersby, saying: "Have compassion
,
take of me these gems.
I have
sick soul and heart have hardened me:
mercy, have mercy,
take it, cause that
cure me.
But nobody paid attention.
poem entitled Misery, written by Lebanese artist and poet Khalil Yibran Yibran
There is no doubt that a truly wise man is a happy man. The true happiness, lasting, is not in having great possessions or do great things. It is here and now, in the present moment and we must not act in a special way to find it, just knowing it's there, always waiting in our hearts. Find it within ourselves continuously balance the relationship with our environment and teach us to marvel at the miracle that hold the small things in life.

Tibetans say the heart when they speak of the mind. (In the West, most would point out the head). The development of the mind is only possible if we look inside ourselves. And what we discover it? Then again ask the Tibetans, who give us a shot of self-define as something large, clean, clear and bright. We are not referring to the mind of the saints, but to all of us, the people's "normal."
The mind is indestructible. In Tibet, his name is Dory, which means indestructible diamond. No matter how evil or we are so sleepy that it is our consciousness, is always there, dormant, waiting for their chance to wake up. In the East is famous Angulimala history, the fierce bandit who eventually became a pious monk.
The mind is the wonder * that we all keep within ourselves. Some call it inner child, inner teacher, God, essence, soul, inner Buddha ... all these expressions are used to define the possible development of our capacity to love unconditionally ... San Juan de la Cruz says in one of the verses of the Spiritual Canticle ... "My soul has been used / and all my possessions in their service / no longer keep livestock / or because I have another job / that and only love is my exercise. "

In the shadow of the temple my friend
and I saw a blind man sitting apart.
And my friend said, "Look
the wisest man in the world.
I went to the blind,
greeted him.
And we started talking. Shortly after
said
"Excuse me a question:
how long are you blind?
"Since I was born, said.
I said: - What industry cultivate wisdom?
said: "I am an astronomer.
And placing his hand on his chest
said: "Search these suns and moons
,
and stars.
poem entitled astronomer, written by Lebanese artist and poet Khalil Yibran Yibran
The message of this poem reminds me of what We have talked about different spiritual traditions. "What that is in me is everywhere, which is me is not anywhere, "says the Hindu tantra. "Know thyself" was written in the temple of Delphi. San Juan de la Cruz told us in his glosses to the Soul Spiritual Canticle, to find God, must hide within itself and, if acting, would not have to strive to seek, since He would be waiting in the door of his house.
Wisdom is certainly much closer than we think and its nature is easier than we think. Maybe it costs us find because most of the time we address their search for a way too complicated.

When starting any spiritual path we need, first, to overcome the negative image we have of life and ourselves. Only way to eliminate the barriers that prevent us from cultivating unconditional love.
Shinran These words invite us to change our world view. The universe is like a Great Mother who, at all times, protect the soul and gives you what you need to grow.
Love Let's take a chance to be the protagonist and the main motivation of our lives. us offer unconditionally to all beings, like Flower offers her perfume or the sun light.

Mystics of all traditions perceive the world as the betrothal between matter and spirit (or if you prefer between the body and the innate abilities of our mind.) According to them, everything around us is the fruit of love and that makes us, sooner or later, "condemned" ... to Happiness.
