Guest guest Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 Dear Friends, I am forwarding a message from a member of our group who does not wish herself to be identified. Well, thank you Ma'am. Responses like these make my day. Regards, Jagannath. ------------------ Be the flame that found you ~ Sometimes, when you speak out loud in a large group there will be at least: 10 people who don't understand you and leave. 9 people who don't want to understand you and complain. 8 people who are having a very hard life and can't understand anything. 7 people who come just long enough to copy you and move on. 6 people who are envious they are not speaking instead. 5 people who find you annoying or irritating and tear off their badge. 4 people that will decide you are a bitch and scowl at you. 3 people who will think you're insane and dismiss you. 2 people that will try to report you to someone. 1 person who has a voodoo doll of you on their nightstand. Then there are the rest. They will be open and allowing and ready to ponder what it is you have brought before them. For they know nothing happens by accident. They are open gateways. Focus on these people. Speak to these people. The others are important too, to the degree you release the importance of their dissatisfaction, and witness it for yourself. Your light need not be extinguished for anyone - for any reason. You are an eternal flame that was, at some point in time, lit by another eternal flame you fell in love with. The only responsibility you have now is to be the flame that found you, and keep it burning. Then, when you are ready to share the flame with others, do so from your loving heart and from the uniqueness within you, and with no interest in popularity.

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2005 Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 what a sad way to think - i am pretty sure that gandhiji did not have this attitude in my opinion, disagreement is an opportunity for a deeper consensus On 25-Sep-05, at 4:22 AM, ayurveda wrote: > 10 people who don't understand you and leave. > 9 people who don't want to understand you and complain. > 8 people who are having a very hard life and can't understand anything. > 7 people who come just long enough to copy you and move on. > 6 people who are envious they are not speaking instead. > 5 people who find you annoying or irritating and tear off their badge. > 4 people that will decide you are a bitch and scowl at you. > 3 people who will think you're insane and dismiss you. > 2 people that will try to report you to someone. > 1 person who has a voodoo doll of you on their nightstand.

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 Dear I have very high regards for you. You must have noticed I try my best to act upon your suggestions. I do agree with you, without opposition and disagreement life would be a stagnant pool. Please do not let anything I say upset you, you will always remain somebody I admire. Love, Jag. ayurveda, Todd Caldecott <todd@t...> wrote: > what a sad way to think - i am pretty sure that gandhiji did not have > this attitude > in my opinion, disagreement is an opportunity for a deeper consensus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
