1. Forget Two Things, Remember Two Things

    Two things to forget are:

    1. Anything bad anyone has done to you. To the extent you are willing to forgive, God will forgive. Forgiveness is a great virtue.
    2. Any good that you have done to another. If we remember our good deeds, we become proud, and that ruins everything. We should think that we are only delivery persons, delivering the goods God wants us to deliver. Ultimately it’s all done by God.
  2. The Tale of Dorothy

    “You’re a Hindu and I’m a Christian,” Dorothy said. “Which God are you talking about?” I looked out the window at a blazing summer sun. “In America it is called the sun, in Mexico, sol and in India, surya. But is it an American sun or a Mexican sun? The essence of all religions is one, to love God—whatever name we may have for God—and live as an instrument of that love. To transform arrogance into humility, greed into benevolence, envy into gratitude, vengeance into forgiveness, selfishness into servitude, complacency into compassion, doubt into faith, and lust into love. The character of love is universal to all spiritual paths.”
