Reflection
Zen
Life always gives us exactly the teacher we need at every moment. This includes every mosquito, every personal misfortune, every red light, every boring person with a terrible story, every ailment, every depression, every loss, every moment of joy.
— Charlotte Joko Beck
जीवन हमें हमेशा हर पल वही शिक्षक देता है जिसकी हमें आवश्यकता होती है। इसमें हर मच्छर, हर व्यक्तिगत दुर्भाग्य, हर लाल बत्ती, भयानक कहानी वाला हर उबाऊ व्यक्ति, हर बीमारी, हर अवसाद, हर नुकसान, खुशी का हर पल शामिल है।
— शार्लेट जोको बेक
Why this matters:
Every irritation is an opportunity to practice equanimity, turning the friction of life into the polish for our souls.
यह क्यों मायने रखता है:
हर चिड़चिड़ाहट समभाव (equanimity) का अभ्यास करने का एक अवसर है, जो जीवन के घर्षण को हमारी आत्माओं के लिए चमक में बदल देता है।

It is the crumbling away of untruth. It’s seeing through the facade of pretense. It’s the complete eradication of everything we imagined to be true."
