Today's reflection
It is our thoughtfulness for everyone that brings us an outstanding blessing that makes us become extremely intelligent in doing business as well as everything in life. If we become spiritual cultivators, we will also be incredibly profound. In this way, the cause of stopping shallow moral thoughts helps us become thoughtful and talented in life and in spiritual practice.

Janna Quotes: thoughtful quotes for reflection and daily practice.

We need to educate our juniors to take high responsibility. They should enthusiastically contribute whatever is useful to life. They should never shift responsibility onto others. They don't need to do good due to a call. They do good for others because they love to do that and because they find themselves responsible. People who are filled with morality find opportunities to benefit others.

A person who makes a living by cheating others must have been blessed from the past. They lie, yet many still trust them. Maybe his past karma made him choose this path innately. He only needs to act and talk charmingly enough to get money from those around him. He does not need to work hard. Day by day, he gets addicted to cheating.

Once stepping on the path to seek virtue, we must not stop half way. We have to cultivate ourselves towards the ultimate holiness. In order to attain that ultimate goal, we must overcome obstacles. Claiming credits is one of these obstacles. It only brings self-praise and pride. We have to practice letting go of our credits. Offering them to the universe, and we just wish to be a tiny piece of dust flying away on a windy afternoon.

Many old people can remember a lot of things happening a long time ago, and even on their deathbed, they can still pass the teachings and wisdom on to their descendants. If we do a survey of their family, we can see those old people, most of the time, lived with a strong sense of gratitude to others. And what is gratitude? It means to appreciate the kindness and favors of the past.

It is very subtle to evaluate people from the way they treat their pets. We need to understand people before we make friends with them. Most people want to have a long-term friendship, so they should know how to choose friends to keep their friendship intact. Some people are only suitable for us to have a shallow friendship, we don't let them know much about us or need to know them well. Some people are only suitable to be business partners, and the relationship must be square.

If humans do not make any progress in spirituality, we will be mercilessly replaced by robots. Today, many people become jobless because of robots' substitution, but they are not aware of that. Many factories secretly use artificial intelligence to monitor and evaluate their employees anytime and anywhere; then the artificial intelligence suggests if a certain employee should be fired or kept. Humans are gradually becoming weaker than robots.

Humans are wiser, but the instincts of gratitude and repayment are sometimes inferior to animals. Only those who are very virtuous, very intellectual, and have a strong gratitude ethic. Normally people quickly forget gratitude and even become ungrateful.

As soon as we achieve any goal, it's also the time we start a new journey. We often think that reaching a goal after overcoming many difficulties is when we succeed, but it is not. The word "succeed" never exists in wise people's dictionaries. The road is always open ahead so that we can move forward. The greatness has no limits, the kindness has no finishing point and love never comes to an end...

Our life will be full of misery and hardship if we do not have any ideal purpose to live. Just because we have a certain great goal, we will make a lot of effort to live and work. Among these ideal goals that we are chasing, there is a goal of helping people around us, contributing to building a moral, peaceful and happy world together.

We cannot use force to take money from one person to share with others. We must use wisdom, ethics, and appropriate policies to support the poor so that they won't be deprived anymore. Naturally, assets of society will be distributed evenly again.

We should be careful when making assumptions or conclusions in life. If we make the wrong move, it will bring bad karma to our next life.

People are greedy so they easily cause bad karma. Little do they know, they can get benefits now but will meet disaster later.
