Purpose/Calling/Dharma

“No man can know what power he can rightly call his own unless he presses a little,” he wrote.

The whole world is inside each person, each being, each object. To know any part of the world deeply, intimately, is to know the whole.

the key to living a life true to dharma is a complete understanding of and respect for doubt.

See the world as your self. Love the world as your self. This is a simple reframe—like taking one small step to the side. You only have to love what you already love.

Right size is everything. Think of the small as large.

If you don’t find your work in the world and throw yourself wholeheartedly into it, you will inevitably make your self your work.

Actions taken in support of dharma change the self. The act of commitment itself calls forth an unseen dharma power.

to know the world is the chiefest delight in life.
