"&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;And "Be too big for worry and too noble for anger."&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Reminds me of Eckhart Tolle's wisdom. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;In 'The New Earth',  he says that if and when somebody tries to provoke you, pause for a minute, prevent yourself from reacting in anger, and *WATCH* the anger rise in your mind/body.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;The immediate effects are that this anger that rises in a person as a consequence of not reacting to the provoker--this anger will try to confuse the person in many ways...as it simmers in the person's mind/body....and ego damage will occur.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;This ego damage is a healthy thing for a person who has crossed a certain point in consciousness evolution.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Because this entire instability will transmute into amazing peace, in no time. In most cases.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;It comes down to making space for everything. The space leads to transmutation and healing.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;And an argument has been avoided.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;In tantric practice, absolutely nothing is rejected, and all are welcome. The sacred is the consort of the profane.( which is anger, in this case.)&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Its always wonderful to read what you write.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;regards,&lt;BR/&gt;Vikram</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36151007/391839782796089521/comments/default/7530791740895545373'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36151007/391839782796089521/comments/default/7530791740895545373'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://goodnessgraciousness.blogspot.com/2009/01/my-new-quote-for-year-beautiful-way-to.html?showComment=1232789520000#c7530791740895545373' title=''/><author><name>Vikram Madan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07743637404053398793</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://goodnessgraciousness.blogspot.com/2009/01/my-new-quote-for-year-beautiful-way-to.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36151007.post-391839782796089521' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/36151007/posts/default/391839782796089521' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36151007.post-2881568312120727904</id><published>2009-01-14T03:04:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2009-01-14T03:04:00.000-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Beautiful Jen,So very beautiful...
