Though through all his life a fool associates with a wise man, he yet understands not the Dharma, as the spoon, the flavor of soup.
More Quotes from Guatama Buddha:
If one is the master of oneself, one is the resort one can depend on therefore, one should control oneself of all.Guatama Buddha
One may desire a spurious respect and precedence among one's fellow monks, and the veneration of outsiders. 'Both monks and laity should think it was my doing. They should accept my authority in all matters great or small.' This is a fool's way of thinking. His self-seeking and conceit just increase. One way leads to acquisition, the other leads to nirvana. Realizing this a monk, as a disciple of the Buddha, should take no pleasure in the respect of others, but should devote himself to solitude.
Guatama Buddha
Let yourself be open and life will be easier. A spoon of salt in a glass of water makes the water undrinkable. A spoon of salt in a lake is almost unnoticed.
Guatama Buddha
The sky holds no trace of bird or smoke or storm An evil teaching carries no Enlightenment nothing in this world is stable But an Enlightened mind is undisturbed.
Guatama Buddha
To utter pleasant words without practicing them, is like a fine flower without fragrance.
Guatama Buddha
The wise say that it is not an iron, wooden or fiber fetter which is a strong one, but the besotted hankering after trinkets, children and wives, that, say the wise, is the strong fetter. It drags one down, and loose as it feels, it is hard to break. Breaking this fetter, people renounce the world, free from longing and abandoning sensuality.
Guatama Buddha
