“Unless you see your nature, you shouldn't go around criticizing the goodness of others. There's no advantage in deceiving yourself. Good and bad are distinct. Cause and effect are clear. But fools don't believe and fall straight into a hell of endless darkness without even knowing it. What keeps them from believing is the heaviness of their karma. They're like blind people who don't believe there's such a thing as light. Even if you explain it to them, they still don't believe, because they're blind. How can they possibly distinguish light?” PeopleIfsBelieveStillsLightFallCausesDarknessHellKnowingClearEffectsFoolGoodnessAdvantageBlindDon't BelieveKarmaEndlessCriticizeDeceivingGood And BadCause And EffectHeavinessBlind PeopleDeceiving Yourself Author:Bodhidharma

“The point is that we are among those who cannot get their mouths around all the little Yeses that add up to tacit acceptance of a world run by crackpot realists and subject to blind drift. And that, you see, is something to which we do belong; we belong to those who are still capable of personally rejecting. Our minds are not yet captive.” WorldMindLittlesStillsRunningSubjectsAcceptanceCapableMouthsBlindAddRealistCaptivesRejectingTacitCrackpots Book:C.
