Paving the Way to
Unconditional Contentment
Carlos Cardoso Aveline
Om, Shanti.
What I think must be in harmony with what I say, and with what I feel, and do.
Thoughts, feelings, intentions, words and actions must all point to the same direction.
Although their alignment will be human and imperfect, they should have a common substance.
As long as the main goal is noble and its value lasts forever, I can always improve: in this, however, vigilance is an essential factor.
My goal is so vast and elevated that I can see it from a long distance.
As I walk through the road of time, I learn to be generous regarding other pilgrims. And I focus my soul on my own mission, and use the power of good will.
Equilibrium results from two elements: having no selfish desire, and seeking – in impersonal ways – for the wisdom of altruism.
Given these practical conditions, an inner peace and lasting contentment inevitably emerge; and then, they slowly tend to grow.
Om. Shanti.
