Vipassana Part 2

We must love, not just those who by accident or choice abut upon our lives, but love the potential for awakening that stirs within every life form, so that we can glimpse in the turmoil around us the possibility of an upward reaching nature. We must accept, bow to, acknowledge that death will lead each of us, each of our patients away, but we must spark faith, hope for this next moment's luminosity in those who are pained, defeated, cynical, withered. We must restrain our own lusts, impulses, needs, yet we must nourish ourselves so that self containment does not culminate in dryness, but enables the fullness of the fountain of inner life. We must walk the path from ignorance to knowledge, from doubt to clarity, from conviction to discovery. We must start anew every day, without accretions of doctrines and conclusions, like fledglings in the springtime of knowledge.
