With eyes of wholeness, act with integrity and kindness

“You might be tempted to avoid the messiness of daily living for the tranquility of stillness and peacefulness. This of course would be an attachment to stillness, and like any strong attachment, it leads to delusion. It arrests development and short-circuits the cultivation of wisdom.”

“Perhaps the most "spiritual" thing any of us can do is simply to look through our own eyes, see with eyes of wholeness, and act with integrity and kindness.”

Hans Urs von Balthasar: saquear os Egípcios

Hans Urs von Balthasar: devemos "saquear os Egípcios", isto é, não ter receio de importar da gentilidade o que nela há de bom. Princípio que recua a São Paulo: "Examinai tudo, guardai o que é bom".
