The measure of success

inoma:


what is success? consider that wrong and even bad ideas were "successful" as history shows. meaning they had many followers. so success is not what we usually think it is. the measure of success is within one. you alone can know whether you are on a successful path or not.

The essence of each other

inoma:


it is good that human self-confidence is unreal as long as one has no faith in and great respect for the essence of each other.

Maha Mrityunjaya mantra

Om Tryambakam yajah mahey
Sugandhim pushti vardhanam
Urdvaru kamivah bandhanat
Mrityormukshiya mamritate

"I worship One Lord in Three Persons (Creator, Sustainer, and Liberator),

Who presses out the nectar that sweetens creation and makes all creatures ripe.

Just as the fattened gourd effortlessly snaps from the vine when juicy and full,

So may my clinging mind be freed from things that pass away,

Even as my heart is nourished with the nectar of eternity."

(Translation by Fred Lamotte)
