"To direct the mind towards the basic unity of
all things and to divert it from the seizing of
differences ... therein lies bliss."
Tejo-Bindu Upanishad
Lives are filled with diversity and when we focus on differences, we feel separate. If we can change the word diversity into the word variety, we may be more willing to embrace each other. It is where we place our attention that either distorts or enhances similarities.
While our mind may be calculating uneasiness, our hearts might be joining. If we view a person through squinted eyes, we most definitely fail to see the entire person. When we release the illusion of one opinion being more powerful than one other, we can establish respect and honor for all.
Our minds become too selective when narrow, and the mind becomes deluded when irresponsible. When we evolve together respecting individual preferences without harm to each other, the earth, or space, we will establish grace, harmony, and bliss.
