Walking needles

If you look at the wisest people, you will find that most of them live alone.

It’s not because they are playing the field, chasing skirts, or anything like that. That would be equally painful. . . .

It’s because they look outside at all this we see and they realize that’s not it. Sure it’s all attractive, the beautiful woman, cars, possessions, money . . . but they have realized that all of it is temporary. And all of it brings suffering.

They have learned through experience that they have to look within, that the happiness is inside, not outside, reached through self inquiry.

You know, you really can’t tell anything from the cover, from a persons looks, from the wrapping outside. We all claim to know that, but I am always still learning it.

See there are primarily two types of people in this world. Think of them as giant walking needles. One type comes at you, pushes in the needle, and sucks all the life and energy from you that it can. The second type comes at you, inserts the needle, and injects this poison drug inside you. . . . .walking needles.

But there is another type of person. They are very rare, extremely rare. It’s someone who brings you pure joy. It’s very rare, and it’s such a blessing when you find them. When you see the man with a woman like that, so joyful, you know he’s found that. . . . . .Somehow, that person just knows how to nourish the joy in you. . . . . . .It’s amazing to see the change.

Don't forget that.

Don't ever forget that.
