In Pursuit of Higher Values (On Wings and Wheels pages 28 - 31)
- Just as the majority of an iceberg is unseen so too the majority of our personality is unexpressed - by developing more awareness we are able to purify the subtler layers of our personality
- Most of us claim to live a life based on values but when push comes to shove do we still uphold these values - through introspection do we come to understand what we really base our lives on
- If we all cultivated 'big picture ethics' then 'little picture ethics' would be absorbed into this - in the same way, when our vision is of Oneness, our egos would dissolve
- Values are a means and not an ends in themselves - we abide by values to make us eligible to abide in our Infinite Nature
- Most of the education society propagates is towards valuables (limited) and not values (limitless) - is it a wonder then that unnecessary conflict is ever present
Foundation for our upcoming discussion: Values of Life (On Wings and Wheels pages 31 - 35)
' I emphasize that I am full of ambition and hope and of full charm of life. But I can renounce all at the time of need and that is the real sacrifice. ' --- Bhagat Singh
