Incredibly inspiring!! It’s so great to keep this in mind whenever we do not like something that someone does, says, or feels.
We are not our delusions.
This is a loving sentiment that can guide us on our journey of love & compassion. ❤ 😀
“Although living beings’ minds are filled with delusions, living beings themselves are not faulty. We say that sea water is salty, but in fact it is the salt in the water that makes it salty, not the water itself. The real taste of water is not salty. Similarly, all the faults we see in people are actually the faults of their delusions, not of the people themselves.”
