A Desire Kills Joy and all Desires Aim for Joy
This couplet needs to be pondered over and over; for a whole lifetime is not sufficient enough to digest this knowledge. Whenever happiness has disappeared from your life, look deeper and you will see it is because of the desire. And all that we desire is happiness! No person, animal or creature desiring unhappiness is ever born, never has it happened before and never will it happen in the future. When your small mind gets tired of running here and there, of wandering everywhere, it reaches a conclusion, "My desires have killed my happiness". Thus a person who has conquered his desires in called "mahavira".

People who are in pain, who are suffering, they should write. They can write excellent books, poems, and novels.

Don't Try to Gauge Others
There is an old proverb which says, 'Don't try to gauge others'. And for the enlightened it is said, 'You can't gauge the enlightened, by their action or by their words. You can't know them'.
Why is this? It is because the consciousness is so vast, so deep and so multi-dimensional, and we have the ability to only know a few dimensions.
The consciousnesses is multi-dimensional and so only the consciousness can know. One knowing that becomes that.
====================
Only intelligent people come onto the spiritual path, that is what I feel.
