✨ To meditate on today

According to Tulsidas, the Creator has made a world in which good and bad are mixed, and the saint is like the swan of Indian tradition, which can drink the milk mixed with water and leave the water aside: he gathers goodness wherever it is found. Today, in front of each person or situation, consciously look for the “milk”, a quality, a kind gesture, and let the rest go without dwelling on it.
