The Gods gave a microbe a drop of water, and in it he lived. They gave an ant a half acre of land, and he prospered. They gave a tiger the forest and he formed an empire and became an emperor. They gave man the Universe and all the knowledge therein. He entered of his own free will the dungeon of Dogma, shut his mind to truth and slew and starved his brothers.
In the sky, there is no distinction of east and west; people create distinctions out of their own minds and then believe them to be true.
We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.
