―Those who have the privilege of Knowing have the duty to Act.‖ ~ Albert Einstein
Two things about this one: first, note that real Knowing (not the collection of mere factual
―knowledge‖, but rather the far more deep-seated, pseudo-intuitive Comprehension of the
fundamental working s of the Universe with which all sentient beings are blessed in the womb) is a
privilege – a gift that must be actualized to rebirthe into Being … and second, note that there is no
real duty to act imposed on any of us, at least not in any higher, moral sense of that word. There is
a state of being known as Choiceless Awareness (where a being has developed such an acute
understanding of omni-interconnectivity and the ever-functional Power of selfless deeds that
he/she has no true alternative in any given moment but to attempt to actualize the same) that subtly
―demands‖ that we make the selfless choice in any given moment, and yet doing so is neither a
duty nor an obligation, but rather a privilege as well.
―Loving Life is merely the first step on the way to Living Love.‖ ~ anonymous
Actually, what I didn‘t realize at the time I wrote this is that the two are actually one and the
same – we can only Live Love while doing so willingly and indeed Joy-fully (a.k.a. ―Loving
Life‖), and we can only Love Life while giving selflessly to others (a.k.a. ―Living Love‖) …
P.S. This quote was written in The Brown Book before I started attributing most of my
personal sayings as ―anonymous‖ … The way I see it now, anything truly Good that flows
through me is not actually ―from me‖, and therefore should not be attributed to me as its author.
I am but a servant of The One, and believe wholeheartedly that all inspiration comes from what
many wise men and women call the ―Cosmic Consciousness‖ … As such, since whatever
Wisdom I say or write does not originate in me but rather flows through me, it would be
improper for me to take even indirect credit for the same. So I simply tell people – If you find
what I say to be inspirational or Truth-filled, then it is ―of God‖, and if you find whatever I say
or write to be erroneous or ignorant, then I and my ego take full credit for the same.
