Man can rise above Obstacles-Lord Buddha
One more legend from Buddha’s life. “The Blessed One sat above the waters of a deep lake. In its depths one could discern an entire world of fish and seaweeds. The Blessed One noticed how this small world resembled the courts of royalty, ‘If man should sink there, he would destroy these ephemeral dwellings with his feet, but he himself would choke. Out of such depths the spirit of man does not arise. “ ‘But,’ smiled the Teacher, ‘for everything there is a remedy. One can shatter the rock and drain the lake. The snails will then have either to dry up or to find another place of existence. But man will not perish.’ “

Sincerity while forgiving
If you seek forgiveness, the first thing you must do not is to demonstrate utmost sincerity and honesty by revealing your motives ,ways ans actions and plans . Any hidden factors within you make forgiveness impossible. You must know that if a person forgives you without knowing that you are hiring certain motives and actions,the hidden factors will poison your being and make forgiveness futile. When you deceive a person who is ready to forgive you or already forgave you,you are entering the path of treason.
On the other hand,when the forgiving one tries to trap you and then,after knowing all that you did,takes revenge on you,he violates your trust. The violation of trust is one of the greatest treasons ,and is abhorred by Great Ones. Karma descends heavily on people who violate trust.
One cannot confess and reveal himself if he does not exactly what wrong he did. He must clearly realize his errors and be determined not to repeat them.
The moment of confession and forgiveness creates an atmosphere into which are drawn various angels and dark forces . They wait anxiously to see what is going on. If the confessor is revealing the totality of himself with the right motive,with trust ,and with regret about his own errors,the angels will rejoice ,and they will inspire courage and reveal to him things related to Infinity and not related to short term interests.But if the confessor,with various motives ,want to use the situation for personality advantage,hiding the facts and his intentions,the dark forces will rejoice and inspire him to continue the treacherous path.
The moment of confession and forgiveness is a sacred moment,and one will be spiritually born again in such moments.

Being prepared for Ingratitude
Children, be ready for great ingratitude.
You may give up the most precious and they will
notice it not.
But have no regrets.
Traveler, you must give away all possessions
that impede you.
And the more you give, the lighter your path.
Be grateful to those who have taken from you
without gratitude.
They will help you; they have helped you.
For he who goes lightly, easily attains the heights.
And you will learn how to reach the summit.
Therefore, be grateful to the ungrateful.
I have spoken. I have sent you Bliss.

Thought and its vision in Infinity
Let us be like arrows striving heavenward from a fiery bowstring. In each earthly object
let thought find the spiritual essence which will create a beautiful vision in Infinity. Thus, let us
be ashamed to send vile thoughts into the World of Beauty. Each day should reveal a prototype of
beautiful enhancements. People are ashamed to speak vile words into a loud-speaker. Why, then,
should one fill space with vile thoughts? Let the fact of the world conflagration remind one again
about the quality of thought.
