“Old age is the fourth stage. By the time one reaches this stage of his journey, he must have discovered that the joys available in this world are trivial and fleeting. He must be equipped with the higher knowledge of spiritual joy, available through delving into the inner spring of Bliss. Through his experiences, his heart must have softened and be filled with compassion. He has to be engrossed in promoting the progress of all beings without distinction. And he must be eager to share with others the knowledge he has accumulated and the benefit of his experiences.” WorldHeartAgeSpiritualJoyCompassionProgressJourneyShareStageThis WorldHigherBenefitsSpringFilledAvailableOld AgeBlissDistinctionFourthFleetingPromotingDelvingSpiritual Joy Author:Sathya Sai Baba

“After one arrives at the summit, after going through the total transformation of being...there is yet one more step to the completion of that journey: the return to the valley below, to the everyday world. Who it is that returns is not who began the climb in the first place. The being that comes back is quietness itself, is compassion and wisdom, is the truth of the ages. Whatever humble or elevated position that being holds within the community, he or she becomes a light for others on the way a statement of the freedom that comes from having touched the top of the mountain.” WorldWayInspirationalFirstsLightAgeCommunityCompassionStepsJourneyPositionReturnMountainTransformationEverydayHumbleStatementsClimbsTouchedValleysSummitBeing ThereCompletionQuietness Author:Ram Dass

“On the one hand we are called to play the good Samaritan on life's roadside; but that will be only an initial act. One day we must come to see that the whole Jericho road must be transformed so that men and women will not be constantly beaten and robbed as they make their journey on life's highway. True compassion is more than flinging a coin to a beggar; it is not haphazard and superficial. It comes to see that an edifice which produces beggars needs restructuring.
