Isn't the Universe strange? A positive thing, like Newman's salad dressing profits, is out into the ethos and it changes into something far greater? We never know how our lives will be used to serve the greater good until we venture forth. Paul Newman took the pain of his life and it didn't save his son but it helped many other suffering people. Thanks for giving me something to think about today.
Powerful story! It reminds me that there are still good people in the world. Perhaps we just start by being considerate and tolerant. Thanks for sharing.
I've been really impressed by Melinda Gates' philanthropic work over the years. Both with and without her ex-husband's participation. It seems like she truly believes in giving back and making the world a better place.
Ma does not often give orders, and probably only to those who by intuition, discrimination and experience have established in themselves implicit faith in Her in Her unfailing wisdom. But when She does command, obedience without asking for reasons is the only way. Together with the task She sets, Ma transmits the power to carry it out. But often it is not easy to do so. It is a common experience that to obey Ma’s orders quickens intelligence and develops initiative. It requires great vigilance and concentration in fact it is as if ingeniously calculated to draw out to the utmost one’s capacity, courage, forbearance and power of endurance, as well as to bring to the surface one’s weaknesses and shortcomings, so that they may be eradicated.
