Quote of the day - Aug 13th

Each day is an opportunity to learn and to practise. There is no need to abandon wealth, possessions, or family, nor to treat them as hindrances. When the state of mind is not pure, hindrances arise not only from visible things but also from subtle inner conditions that are far more harmful to your practice. The effort you apply to gain wealth and possessions should also be the effort you apply to seek spiritual wealth—but it must be pursued in a noble way without any foul means, then what is yours is not harmful to you. Yet the clinging to the worldly possessions must be watched and must be destroyed, so that when you have acquired much, you must be able to reflect and understand that all other beings, too, are trying hard to have something in life.
