Choose a Mentor!
Use them as a ruler to straighten your crookedness!
Pg.14 : Letters from a Stoic
I have written about this before ;
But its worth re-writing
Seneca is masterful today as he says:
“Choose a master whose life, conversation and
Soul-expressing face have satisfied you!
Picture him/her always to yourself as your
Protector or your pattern;
For we must indeed have someone
To regulate our characters;
You can never straighten that which is crooked
Unless you use a ruler”
For me I am thinking who are my gurus
About Whom when I think
They are straightening my daily crookedness!
Here is my list:
- Seneca : Stoicism
- Henry David Thoreau - Simplicity
- Eknath Eswaran - HappinessRichard Feynman - Thinking
- K Balakumar - Comedy
On this guru purnima day I salute them
In gratitude!!!
Who are yours? Are you remembering them today?
