Spiritual Progress
The surest sign of spiritual progress is a total
lack of concern about progress. There is an utter
absence of anxiety about anything like liberation
and a sort of hollowness in one's being, a kind of
looseness and involuntary surrender to whatever
might happen.
~Ramesh S. Balsekar
via Along The Way
"There is no greater inspiration and no greater courage than the intention to lead
all beings to the perfect freedom and complete well-being of recognizing their
true nature.
Whether you accomplish the goal isn't important.
The intention alone has such power that as you work with it, your mind will become
stronger, your mental and emotional habits will diminish, and you'll become more
skillful in helping other beings.
In so doing, you'll create the causes and conditions for your own well-being."
~Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche
From the book, "Joyful Wisdom: Embracing Change and Finding Freedom,"
published by Three Rivers Press.
