A Rewarding Compliment


Received a compliment last night from a soon to be student. Really inspiring, encouraging and motivating. Definitely spurred me to do my best and the best I can be. I do hope this student is able to make back his course fee before even starting the course. Because he was added to the SMMG Club and there are a lot of seniors giving very good calls, he was able to act on it and made some money out of it. Sincerely, one will make it as long as he is determined to succeed. On another note, got this sutra from somewhere which is so meaningful.


“Kālāma Sūtra”
Rely not on the teacher, but on the teaching.
Rely not on the words of the teaching, but on the spirit of the words.
Rely not on theory, but on experience.

Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it.
Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations.
Do not believe anything because it is spoken and rumored by many.
Do not believe in anything because it is written in your religious books.
Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders.

But after observation and analysis,
when you find that anything agrees with reason
and is conducive to the good and the benefit of one and all,
then accept it and live up to it.
