Eknath Easwaran citáty a výroky

„Pri prvej bráne sa spýtajme: "Sú moje slová pravdivé?" Ak áno, dovoľme im prejsť; ak nie, vráťme ich späť. Pri druhej bráne sa spýtajme: "Sú potrebné?" A napokon pri poslednej bráne sa spýtajme: "Sú láskavé?"“

Podobné: To, čo chceme povedať, by malo prejsť tromi bránami: bránou pravdy, bránou dobroty, bránou úžitku. Ak to, čo chceš povedať, nie je pravdivé, dobré ani užitočné, potom je lepšie nechať si to iba pre seba. (Sokrates)

Eknath Easwaran: Citáty v angličtine

“We try to cling to pleasure, but all we succeed in doing is making ourselves frustrated because, whatever it promises, pleasure simply cannot last. But if I am willing to kiss the joy as it flies, I say, 'Yes, this moment is beautiful. I won't grab it. I'll let it go.”

Kontext: To enjoy anything, we cannot be attached to it. William Blake understood this beautifully: He who binds to himself a Joy, Doth the winged life destroy; But he who kisses the Joy as it flies / Lives in Eternity's sunrise. What we usually try to do is capture any joy that comes our way before it can escape. We have our butterfly net and go after the joy like a hunter stalking his prey. We hide and wait, pounce on it, catch it, and take it home to put on our wall. When our friends come to visit, we say, "Hey, Stu, would you like to see my joy?" There it is on the wall - dead. We try to cling to pleasure, but all we succeed in doing is making ourselves frustrated because, whatever it promises, pleasure simply cannot last. But if I am willing to kiss the joy as it flies, I say, 'Yes, this moment is beautiful. I won't grab it. I'll let it go.'

“Love is so exquisitely elusive. It cannot be bought, cannot be badgered, cannot be hijacked. It is available only in one rare form: as the natural response of a healthy mind and healthy heart.”
