if we saw ourselves not apart from others we might have a better chance in achieving compassion. not doing something good to others so they will do something good to us. ultimately, we think of only ourselves with a mentality like that. if we keep this world as our temple, we might take care of it better. if we see ourselves as a temple, we might really look into what goes inside and what we feed our spirit, mind and body. if we see ourselves in others, then we might see ourselves as an extension of this world as a whole and treat each other better. there might be hope to keep a temple and hold a church without discrimination in race, nationality, age, religious sects, gender, beliefs... just pure soul.
i used to clean my house weekly. a major clean-up . then, a realize that it was much easier to sweep and clean a little bit everyday. it keeps the house clean all week without having to do a major clean-up at the end of the week. just like yoga everyday for 10 minutes rather than an hour-intensive workout for once a week. keeps one grounded.
how much of the sacred do you wish to acknowledge in your life? how much sky can you really see in the midst of an urban skyline? how much beauty can you see as much as what's ugly?
