4. Promotion of Values
·
Buddha told his disciples: charaiveti, charaiveti; keep moving, keep on moving, do keep on moving.
Mahavir also told his disciples not to remain seated at one place, but to keep on walking.
Everyone has preached to move on.
Those going to the temple should go around it. He who moves on, is like the current of a river.
The meaning of walking is to leave the place where you are and set your feet on the next step of the ladder. In this moving environment the dynamism of a person depends on his understanding with his mind, with his conscience of a plane he stands on.
If we wish our future to be happy then we will have to keep the surface of present, neat and clean.
When we keep uniformity and our mind remains based on a sense of equality, then we shall attain wisdom within ourselves.
Good water is that which flows, a good monk is one who moves on.
There is no better teaching than formation of values to broaden up life and the future.
