Love and Compassion - Gautam Buddha



Just wrote a post on love and compassion on Sai Baba blog, which reminded me of a story of Gautam Buddha.

Many of the followers use to meditate with Gautam Buddha. After each meditation Gautam Buddha used to tell his disciples, to emit the love and grace gathered through the meditations, to whole of humanity and all the living beings. To which one of the disciple once told the Buddha upon meeting him, that he could emit the love and compassion to all except one, who had harassed him much and given him much pain. To that the Buddha replied that know well that your meditation can only be called to be flowered when the love and compassion flows for this one individual also.

One essential thing - Ramana Maharshi

To Maharshi Ramana there came a seeker who said, “I desire to live in solitude where I can find what I want, with ease, so that I may devote all my time to meditation. Is such a desire good or bad?”

The Maharishi answered, “What does it matter where and how you are placed? The essential point is that the mind must always remain in it’s source. There is nothing external which is not also internal. The mind is all, if the mind is active even the solitude becomes like a market place. There is no use closing your eyes. Close your mental eye and all will be right.
