original peace ?
perfect equilibrium of the mind ?
- the more we think of a person with a prejudiced mind
we only help to strengthen that prejudice in ourselves
in fact hate does more harm to the person who hates than the person who is hated
A TWISTED MIND WILL HAVE TWISTED IDEAS
EVERYTHING THAT SPRINGS FROM AN UGLY MIND WILL BE UGLY
EVEN ITS VIRTUES
BELIEFS AND WELL-SOUNDING IDEALS
virtue is absolutely essential in life
for a virtuous person alone can be happy
VIRTUE BRINGS PEACE ORDER BEAUTY AND SANITY IN LIFE
YET PRACTICE OF VIRTUE IS PRETENSION
FOR HE WHO PRACTICES VIRTUE IS NOT VIRTUOUS
he is only striving
struggling and restlessly making an effort all the time to attain an ideal created by his mind
THE VIRTUOUS STATE
IS AN EFFORTLESS STATE OF PEACE AND HAPPINESS
WHAT IS MORE IMPORTANT IS TO BE VIRTUOUS
BUT NOT STRIVING FOR VIRTUE
when the mind is perfectly clear
clean and transparent
virtue comes of itself
being free from perverted ideals and distorted beliefs
such a mind can remain simple and innocent and being free from confusion
it can have purity as well as clarity
