Don't accept delivery of all the wrong ideas that keep coming to you. ... Rest quietly in the feeling of "I am", which is consciousness, and cultivate the attitude that all thoughts, all perceptions, are "not me".
-Buddhist Annamalai Swami
Faith without works is useless.
New-testament -James 2:20
When one has the feeling of dislike for evil, when one feels tranquil, one finds pleasure in listening to good teachings; when one has these feelings and appreciates them, one is free of fear.
-Gautama siddharta Buddha
I don't envision a single thing that -- when untamed, unguarded, unprotected, unrestrained -- leads to such great harm as the mind. The mind -- when untamed, unguarded, unprotected, unrestrained -- leads to great harm."
"I don't envision a single thing that -- when tamed, guarded, protected, restrained -- leads to such great benefit as the mind. The mind -- when tamed, guarded, protected, restrained -- leads to great benefit."
Ekadhamma Suttas
Hinduism dies if untouchability lives, and untouchability has to die if hinduism is to live.
- Hindu: Mahatma Gandhi
A grain of devotion is more valuable than tons of faithlessness.
- A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
The good deed and the bad deed are not the same. Return evil with good.
Quran: Surat Fussilat. 41:34
It is within your close reach to follow the Torah in speech, feeling and deed.
-Deuteronomy 30:14
If you do not know what there is on earth, do you expect to know what there is in heaven?
-Talmud, Sanhedrin
And the Lord will guide you continually and satisfy your desire in scorched places and make your bones strong; and you shall be like a watered garden, like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail.
-Isaiah 58:11
As we can see from some Hindu Buddhist, Jewish, Bible and Quranic, teachings, it is synonymous to dislike evil, and you return evil with good, like the master teacher Jesus says, love your haters. And Hindus seem to take vast amount of action, for if one thing is to live, the other must die.
As Jim rhon says, evil is no match for good, but good must be active. The same way if weeds start to take on your garden, you have to kill the weeds, or you will lose your garden.
Mind, Body, and Spirit.
Ecclesiasties:
Ecclesiastes 1:18 For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.
Ecclesiastes 2:10 And whatsoever mine eyes desired I kept not from them, I withheld not my heart from any joy; for my heart rejoiced in all my labour: and this was my portion of all my labour.
Ecclesiastes 2:13 Then I saw that wisdom excelleth folly, as far as light excelleth darkness.
Ecclesiastes 2:14 The wise man's eyes are in his head; but the fool walketh in darkness: and I myself perceived also that one event happeneth to them all.
Ecclesiastes 2:15 Then said I in my heart, As it happeneth to the fool, so it happeneth even to me; and why was I then more wise? Then I said in my heart, that this also is vanity.
Ecclesiastes 2:16 For there is no remembrance of the wise more than of the fool for ever; seeing that which now is in the days to come shall all be forgotten. And how dieth the wise man? as the fool.
Ecclesiastes 2:24 There is nothing better for a man, than that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in his labour. This also I saw, that it was from the hand of God.
Ecclesiastes 2:26 For God giveth to a man that is good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner he giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him that is good before God. This also is vanity and vexation of spirit.
Ecclesiastes 3:12 I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life.
Ecclesiastes 3:13 And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God.
Ecclesiastes 3:14 I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him.
Ecclesiastes 3:22 Wherefore I perceive that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his own works; for that is his portion: for who shall bring him to see what shall be after him?
MIND Career, Money, Work, Travel, priorities, friendship.
Body Gym, healthy eating, androgens/anabolics, training, brotherhood.
Spirit, one of the more important ones, Church, Bible/Quran, devotions, practices, fellowship. Fulfillment, struggle, blessings and connection.
If the mind goes the body follows, and usually that would sink a man, but if the spirit is strong, even if the other two fail, it will carry you, some are strong bodied and muscular but weak minded, some are strong minded but frail bodies, it is good to improve all three, mind, body and spirit.
This post is so beautiful & so important, thank you to the Creator of the post & the participants 🌷🌷🌷

all evildoers will be scattered 🔥
Psalm 92: 12-15; The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon;
planted in the house of the Lord,
they will flourish in the courts of our God.
They will still bear fruit in old age,
they will stay fresh and green,
proclaiming, “The Lord is upright;
he is my Rock, and there is no wickedness in him.” 🌷
