BODHAYANTI PARASPARAM – VOL 7
Anonymous
xiii) When you were born, you did not come with an owner's manual; these guidelines make life work better.
a) You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it's the only thing you are sure to keep for the rest of your life.
b) You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called "Life on Planet Earth". Every person or incident is the Universal Teacher.
c) There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of experimentation. "Failures" are as much a part of the process as "success."
d) A lesson is repeated until learned. It is presented to you in various forms until you learn it: then you can go on to the next lesson.
e) If you do not learn easy lessons, they get harder. External problems are a precise reflection of your internal state. When you clear inner obstructions, your outside world changes. Pain is how the universe gets your attention.
