A Dog Is Not Considered A Good Dog Because He Quotes

If you find you have dug yourself into a hole,
stop digging..

You are who you will be 5 years from now,
except for the people you meet
and the books you read.

When you are content to be simply yourself
and don't compare or compete,
everybody will respect you. - Lao-Tzu

सर्प दंश , काम , क्रोध , लोभ और मोह
से बचाव संभव है परन्तु
अहंकार समस्त कुल को ले कर ही डूबता है ..

A famous soldier came to the master Hakuin and asked:
"Master, tell me: is there really a heaven and a hell?"

"Who are you?" asked Hakuin.

"I am a soldier of the great Emperor's personal guard."

"Nonsense!" said Hakuin.
"What kind of emperor would have you around him?
To me you look like a beggar!"
At this, the soldier started to rattle his big sword in anger.
"Oho!" said Hakuin.
"So you have a sword!
I'll wager it's much too dull to cut my head off!"

At this the soldier could not hold himself back.
He drew his sword and threatened the master, who said:
"Now you know half the answer! You are opening the gates of hell!"

The soldier drew back, sheathed his sword, and bowed.
"Now you know the other half," said the master.
"You have opened the gates of heaven ."
