Martin Buber’s ten rungs, collected Hassidic saying, p.19 




I am is a vain thought;
I am not is a vain thought;
I shall be is a vain thought;
I shall not be is a vain thought.


quote 2506  | 
Majjhima Nikaya, 140 




N ot making special effort to like or to dislike does not mean not to like or dislike at all. A person behaving so would be devoid of consciousness. To say 'not to make a special effort' merely means that one's like and dislike completely follow the Principle of Nature and that one does not go on to attach to that situation a bit of selfish thought. This amounts to having neither likes nor dislikes.
