Poison for the Heart

 

 

Attachment   11 / 32
Filling the mind

Q: How do you fill your days?

A: How can they be emptied? A day is a full day no matter what you do with it. When you abandon concepts of "full" and "empty" then your days will be truly full. Think of Reality, of God, and your days will become full of God.

Whatever you think, you become. Have you noticed how male actors who always play the role of a woman become more effeminate? If you always think of women, you are bound to become like them. If you continually think of yourself as a successful businessman, then you will gradually acquire the qualities of a successful businessman. In the same way, if you continually fill your mind with the Infinite, then your mind will gradually become Infinite.

Chuang-tzu once said: "The effect of life in society is to complicate and confuse our existence, making us forget who we really are by causing us to become obsessed with what we are not."

Thus we should concentrate on what we really are, rather than on what we are not.
