Lesson 205

Even by the falling of water-drops a water-pot is filled; the wise man becomes full of good, even if he gather it little by little.

Excerpt

Let no man think lightly of good, saying in his heart, It will not come nigh unto me. Even by the falling of water-drops a water-pot is filled; the wise man becomes full of good, even if he gather it little by little.

โœจ To meditate on today

According to the Dhammapada, no good is too small: as drops of water end up filling the pot, small acts of kindness, repeated day after day, end up filling the heart of the wise. Today, do three small good deeds you would have thought insignificant (holding a door, saying thank you, tidying up for someone else) and count them tonight as drops in your pot.
