He is the same to all.

Excerpt

Rooted in one and the same soil, all those families of plants and germs are quickened by water of the same essence. The Tathāgata, however, O Kassapa, knows the law whose essence is salvation, and whose end is the peace of Nirvāna. He is the same to all, and yet knowing the requirements of every single being, he does not reveal himself to all alike. He does not impart to them at once the fulness of omniscience, but pays attention to the disposition of various beings.

✨ To meditate on today

According to The Gospel of Buddha, the Tathāgata, that is, the Buddha, is the same to all, like the water that nourishes every plant; yet he adapts to the needs of each one and does not give everything at once. Today, before helping or advising someone, first ask yourself what they really need, and adapt your approach to them rather than imposing your own.
