“Miserable & Magical: A Graduation Speech for Paradoxical Times” by Nipun Mehta (Non-Sex-Related, Self-Awareness, Consciousness, Oneness) 5/27/13
I don’t know what to say about this except to please ask anyone reading this to read it. And to quote from it: “When we give, we think we are helping others. That’s true, but we are also helping ourselves. With any act of unconditional service, no matter how small, our bio-chemistry changes, our mind quiets, and we feel a sense of gratefulness. This inner transformation fundamentally shifts the direction of our lives.”
