If I could define enlightenment briefly I would say it is ''the quiet acceptance of what is.''
Those who behave in ways that displease you are sending out their disharmony toward you because that is what they have to give away. Hating them is akin to hating moss for growing on a tree.
By giving children lots of affection, you can help fill them with love and acceptance of themselves. Then that's what they will have to give away.
Live forgiveness every day rather than just talking about it on Sunday.
Stop waiting for others to change. Recognize that every person has the right to be whatever they choose-even if you irritate yourself about it.
Acceptance means no complaining, and happiness means no complaining about the things over which you can do nothing.
Enlightenment is the "quiet acceptance of what is". I believe the truly enlightened beings are those who refuse to allow themselves to be distressed over things that simply are the way they are.
Give love and unconditional acceptance to those you encounter, and notice what happens.
