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.
Brahmajna Ma: Without busying himself to seek out enjoyment, and luxury for himself, his wife and children, a householder should look after the peace and happiness of the whole family and help the neighbors to the best of his ability: without giving too much attention to wife and children he should help the needy and poor and feel happy and sorry for all. Far from doing any harm to others, it is the duty of a householder to see that the thought of harming others doesn’t even find a place in his mind, and also not to be jealous when others obtain peace and happiness.
A jealous man suffers from his own jealousy and also causes others to suffer. Do not pay back malice nor harm anybody in return for malice. A wrongdoer reaps the fruit of his own actions. Always try to be free from pride. Never think that samsara is real and the abode of permanent peace. If you do not cherish this idea jealousy, spite and pride will gradually disappear. The more a man observes generosity the more will the narrow limits of the darkness of the mind break open and so the mind will broaden more to usher in a glimpse of the true light.
