My Reflections
Power for administration ONLY, Equal in every other aspect
If you help someone - FIRST who benefits is you
Being humble is not about loosing but giving due respect to other beings
“If you have come here to help me you are wasting your time, but if you have come because your liberation is bound up with mine, then let us work together.”
