All worldly pursuits have but one unavoidable and inevitable end, which is sorrow; acquisitions end in dispersion; buildings in destruction; meetings in separation; births in death. Knowing this, one should, from the very first, renounce acquisitions and storing-up, and building, and meeting; and, faithful to the commands of an eminent Guru, set about realizing the Truth. That alone is the best of religious observances.
MilarepaAll meditation must begin with arousing deep compassion. Whatever one does must emerge from an attitude of love and benefitting others.
MilarepaAccustomed long to contemplating love and compassion I have forgotten all difference between myself and others
