There are different ways to do everything.Buzzfloydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10907833292561328868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55532501364780143.post-48592176730004183732017-12-24T17:54:34.641+00:002017-12-24T17:54:34.641+00:00Yes, indeed!

He wrote a book called My Experiments With Truth, that brings out clearly his decisive nature — a real initiator. I've always been very interested in the relationship between Gandhi and his wife Kasturbai, because he imposed upon her the outworking of his own ideological convictions and impulses, and she certainly had a lot to put up with. The perspective of those in the intimate circle of spiritual giants is very instructive, I think. xPen Wilcockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13818227904371811230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55532501364780143.post-81041642679019930792017-12-17T23:31:48.939+00:002017-12-17T23:31:48.939+00:00Wow, what a thought provoking post.

I sometimes recognise the sock of judgement bob before me and I wish I could remove it; it's ugly. And yet sometimes, when I've quelled judgements, I've gone on to make some of the worst decisions in my life ( although, painfully,they are the ones I've learnt the most from...).<br />Perhaps the acknowledgement of wisdom you desire stems from being a natural born leader and thinker? Perhaps it's ok to think,to have ideas,to have them validated, and even...gulp... to make judgements. Perhaps the key is to execute these things with grace, like the ancient masters described in the Tao<br />"Watchful, like men crossing a winter stream.<br />...<br />Who can wait quietly while the mud settles?<br />Who can remain still until the moment of action?"<br />I can't help but think that even peaceful, gentle people like Ghandi must have had strong ideas, but rather than force them on the world like other leaders might, he climbed further up the mountain with grace.<br />Just a few thoughts!<br />DebAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55532501364780143.post-75827217197843762352017-12-17T19:43:36.146+00:002017-12-17T19:43:36.146+00:00Oh, yes.
