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.
"All creatures are fundamentally one, for the whole universe is a manifestation of the One. A man who hears the word 'Himalaya', without having actually set eyes on the mighty range, will be under the impression that it is but a single mountain, whereas once face to face with the Himalayas, he will realize that they consist of hundreds upon hundreds of peaks, stretching over hundreds of miles, with milliards* of trees, animals, birds, insects, with streams and waterfalls. Similarly, the farther one advances or deeper one penetrates on the path of 'sadhana', the more clearly will be perceived the One revealed in the many and the many in the One. In actual fact we are always with the One, but distracted by the many we forget Him."
*Milliard = A British noun - A "Milliard" is equal to a U.S. Billion!
