Begin the Morning

Begin the Morning
pg 7 : Book Two : Marcus Aurelius

Don't fix/say: he is good ; he is bad
This is beautiful; that is Ugly
Everything/ Everyone is akin to me
part of the same intelligence and portion of my divinity
so I can neither be injured by any of them
for no one can fix on me what is ugly
nor I can be angry with my kinsmen nor hate him

For we are made for cooperation, like feet
like hands, like eyelids, like rows of upper and lower teeth
to act against one another then is contrary to Nature
and it is acting against one another - to be vexed and turn away;

Whatever this is that I am, I am a little flesh and breath of the Ruling part

My words: Unity is what comes to my mind
Bhagavad Gita says -
Unity ,freedom from selfish desires and Lack of Ego

are the 3 goods you need
