One’s Capacity for Receiving Blessings
Do not blame, cry, and laugh
for your blessings.
If you cry and laugh for Truth,
you are the blessed one.
If you blame, cry, and laugh for yourself,
you are the unblessed.
For a person who has falsness in his mind,
his false mind drives out the blessings,
and thus, those blessings cannot remain;
blessings do not come to him.
One who cries and laughs for Truth
is a person who is blessed.
One who laughs and cries for himself
is the unfortunate one without blessings.
Do not try to find blessings outside;
when the mind of the self does not exist
your true mind is the bowl in which you can receive
blessings when you have 'blessings bowl'.
A person lives life according to
what he has in his mind;
if a person seeks blessings without
having any within, he is a poor fool.
The mind is the self,
and the body and mind are one;
a person speaks and does
according to what he has in his mind.
Thus, one who does not have Truth in his mind
cannot gain recognition from others
because people do not believe him.
One who does not have Truth in his mind
cannot receive blessings
even though they are given to him;
he dose not have a big enough bowl
for to receive his blessings.
