________________ June 1992: Love All and Serve All Blessings for a happy, beautiful summer. Many people, sometimes seriously, sometimes playfully, have asked me about what goes on in my mind when I am not working. In view of that question I have decided to share some of the things (in capsulated form) that have "gone on in my mind". Between extremes Is enlightenment With passion there is pain So teach me compassion For every lock there is a key. Sometimes people forget where they have left their keys. Are actions right or wrong, Really only lessons to be learned for someone, somewhere, someplace...? Some people don't dream - Some people do - And then some people become bold enough to live their dreams. So tell me, who YOU are. They say opposites attract. For me that used to be Now opposition wearies me. So now I work with "Like attracts Like" And I wait for "like" To like me too!! Jainism Many people have asked me different things about Jains and Jainism. Jains are people who: Live and let live Love all and serve all And believe in the practice of Ahimsa (non-violence) Anyone who practices these principles would/could be considered a Jain along with whatever religious choice or preference they have already established in this lifetime. I would like to share with you the following statement on Jains by Vincent Smith, Historian and Orientalist: ain ethics are meant for men of all positions; for kings, warriors, traders, artisans, agriculturists and, indeed for men and women in every walk of life. Do your duty, and do it as humanely as you can. This, in brief, is the primary principal of Jainism." Namaste, Chetana On the Wings of Light and Love - 19
