| Quote of the moment |
| Our judgements, even concerning ordinary things, are frequently clouded by our emotions. For example, we often see the actions of our loved ones - even if they are harmful - as wonderful, whereas we judge even the positive actions of a person we dislike as pretentious and false. We cannot rely upon our perceptions; it is a fact that we misapprehend many situations. If this is a general fact, how can we still stubbornly maintain that our perceptions about our own spiritual masters must be true? |
