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.
Shree Shree Ma Anandamayee says, “Whenever you have the chance, laugh as much as you can. By this, all the rigid knots in your body will be loosened.”
But, on a note of caution, Ma adds, “But to laugh superficially is not enough: your whole being must be united in laughter, both outwardly and inwardly. Do you know what this kind of laughter is like? You simply shake with merriment from head to foot, so that one cannot tell which part of your body is most affected.”
Ma explains this further, “What you usually do is to laugh with your mouth, while your mind and emotions are not involved.”
She implores us, “But I want you to laugh with your whole countenance, with your whole heart and soul, with all the breath of your life. In order to be able to laugh in this way you must have implicit faith in the power of the Self and try to bring the outer and inner parts of your being into perfect harmony.”
