The greatest deviation that distinguish the sage from the layman is the capability to command a self-control of time and space. The future is a vain hope, the past is a distracting thought. Uphold our loving kindness at this instant, and be committed to our duties and responsibilities right now. Be humble in our attribute, be loving and varying in our attitude, that is the way to live in ultimate bliss. We grow wiser by each experience.
Wisdom is enhanced through the interaction with people and affairs.
Therefore if we avoid that actuality of life, and dislodge from people and affairs, there is no chance to acquire wisdom. That is loving kindness. Those who take pleasure in making sacrifices for the sake of others and who are able to bestow loving kindness are the ones who enjoy eternal happiness and lead a purposeful life. It is always a blessing to bequeath love on others as well as to be showered with love. Those who have the spirit to love others or to be bestowed with love are those who are endowed with bountiful blessings.
