Direct Truth: Uncompromising, non-prescriptive Truths to the enduring questions of life

by Kapil Gupta

What I am saying is to rely upon yourself for all the needs that arise within you.

Not if it was done by way of prescription. If a desire for the Truth is in someone’s bones, then he will not stop until he finds it. Not because he should. But because he has no choice.

If there is someone who naturally and continually lives in the present because of having practiced mindfulness, that will benefit him greatly.

Some will speak endlessly of their successes. Others will speak endlessly of their failures. They may not do it overtly. But subtly. They will get across the message that is most prevalent in their mind. What they think of themselves will dictate what they choose to share and withhold from others.

Anger is born of unfulfilled desire. It is born of unfulfilled expectation.

But what you have not been told is that the greatest aim of a life is to become perfect.

Buddha did not try to change the world. He turned himself into a Buddha. And because he did, the world began to change.
