Think for yourself
Be who you are.
Tall orders need cranes to reach them.
He who experiences the unity of life sees his own Self in all beings, and all beings in his own Self, and looks on everything with an impartial eye. Buddha

I like this Buddihism lesson, it is so well presented, makes the lesson clear. The message to be ourselves and to see the unity in all of us resonated with me as this is a focus in my life. I need these reminders though. 😉
I have shared in Facebook and Twitter. 🙂
Glad you liked it and thanks for sharing – we all need the reminder btw! Thanks.
Well said, perfect analogy. Only when one reveres all, can one be oneself.
Isn’t it marvellous how our individuality exists in our connections? Thanks for commenting.
An impartial eye perched high up on that crane: what a vantage point. If we allow our souls to sort of “fuse” with the soul of our Creator, we, too, can have the advantage of that vantage point!
Lovely thought!
We must think for ourselves and that is why I’m not much of a joiner… I have to make my own decisions … 🙂
So important because then we also take responsibility for our own mistakes.
