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.
Mother would say that when an aspirant becomes desirous of powers it clearly indicates that he has forgotten the object of his activities. His object was originally to go beyond the world of Maya, but powers are in the domain of Maya, and in striving to get these he must of necessity want to remain where he is already.
She would also say, "How foolish people are to strive for some of these powers which are possessed by some of the lower animals and birds. A special kind of spider can walk on the water, birds can fly, so if a man wants to obtain these powers, what is the wonder in them? It may impress fools but does no good to the seeker after truth, except to drag him down."
