“To finish the moment, to find the journey's end in every step of the road, to live the greatest number of good hours, is wisdom. It is not the part of men, but of fanatics, or of mathematicians, if you will, to say, that, the shortness of life considered, it is not worth caring whether for so short a duration we were sprawling in want, or sitting high. Since our office is with moments, let us husband them.” IfsMenWantLifeEndsMomentsWisdomTimeHoursNumbersStepsJourneyHusbandOfficeSittingCaringMathematicianFanaticsEvery StepDurationLife TimeShortnessShortness Of Life Book:The Portable Emerson: New Edition Source: The Portable Emerson: New Edition
“Meditation does not imply only the development of single-pointed concentration, sitting in some corner doing nothing. Meditation is an alert state of mind, the opposite of sluggishness; meditation is wisdom. You should remain aware every moment of your daily life, fully conscious of what you are doing and how you are doing it.” LifeShouldMindDoeStatesMomentsWisdomMeditationDevelopmentConsciousSittingOppositesCornersConcentrationDaily LifeState Of MindDoing Nothing Author:Thubten Yeshe
