Many people rise to this point of view not by ingenious thinking, but by their great minds and their pure ethical instincts, because, generally speaking, they only live in faith with their minds. They deny the function and reality of the perceptual world by their practice, and regard this function and reality as nihility when they prescribe their decisions and measures. Of course, they do not use thinking to make clear that this practice is nihility even to the power of thinking. Those who dare to say here, "Our home is in the sky, we have no place to stay here for a long time, but to find a place for the future", those who regard "dying out of this world, being born again, and entering another life here" as their fundamental principle, will no doubt not think that all perceptual things have the slightest value. They are practical transcendental idealists. Others, in addition to the way of emotional behavior that we are all born with,Artificial Marble Slabs, also strengthen themselves in the sensibility with their thinking, twist together with the sensibility, and grow equally with the sensibility. These people can only raise themselves above the sensibility forever and completely with their continuous and thorough thinking; Otherwise, even if they have the most pure ethical beliefs, they will always be pulled down by their understanding, and their whole essence will remain a contradiction that is constantly set and can never be solved. For these people,Agate Slabs Countertops, the philosophy that I now fully understand has become such a primary force, which can make the mind take off its shell and spread its wings, so that the mind first floats above itself and has a bird's eye view of its abandoned shell in order to live and gallop in higher realms in the future. May I be blessed with a moment when I make up my mind and think about myself and my mission. All my problems are solved; I know what I can know, and I never worry about what I cannot know. I was satisfied; a state of complete harmony and Pure Brightness of my spirit began, a new and more magnificent existence of my spirit began. My whole and complete mission, I cannot understand; what I should be, what I will be, is beyond all my powers of thought. A part of this mission is hidden from myself, and is visible only to a spirit, the father of the spirit to which this mission is entrusted. I only know that this mission is reliable for me, and that it is as eternal and magnificent as the spiritual father himself. But the part of this mission that is entrusted to me, White Marble Slabs ,White Marble Mosaic, I know, I know completely, and this part is the source of all the rest of my knowledge. I know exactly what I should do in every moment of my life, and as far as my mission depends on me, that's my whole mission. Since my knowledge cannot go beyond this point, I should not leave this point; I should not go beyond this point to hope for any knowledge; I should be fixed in this single central point, in which I should be rooted. All my images and passions, all my possessions, should be directed to this point, and this point should interweave all my existence into itself. I should do everything in my power to cultivate my understanding and give me access to knowledge; but I must be desperate and determined to prepare a larger scale and a wider range of activities for duty within me; I should hope for many things, so that I can achieve many things. I ought to use my powers and skills in every way, but only in order to equip me with a more useful and skillful instrument of duty; for until the command goes beyond my whole personality into the outer world, I am responsible for it to my conscience. I should do my best to show the perfect humanity within me, but not for the sake of humanity itself; humanity itself has no value at all, on the contrary, it is for the sake of showing the highest perfection of virtue in humanity, which is valuable only in itself. I should use my mind and body, everything within me, to see me only as a tool to perform my duties, and to do my best to care only that I do my duties and that I can do them. But as soon as a command, if it is really only a command that I obey, if I am really only conscious of the only pure purpose for which I obey, goes beyond my personality into the world, I need not worry any more, for from then on the command enters the hand of the eternal will. From then on, to worry about it would be the unnecessary pain I imposed on myself, the lack of faith and trust in the eternal will. I should never want to rule the world as I please, instead of the Eternal Will, listening in my conscience not to the voice of the Eternal Will, but to the voice of my limited wisdom, and replacing the all-seeing plan of the Everlasting Will with a short-sighted and one-sided plan of an individual. I know that I am bound to break away from the order of the eternal will, from the order of all spiritual creatures. Just as I respect this higher order with serenity and resignation, so I should respect in my actions the freedom of those other creatures who are outside of me. The question is not what they should do according to my concept, but what I can do in order to push them to do their thing. But it is only as far as the order of society and their own will allow that I can hope to influence their beliefs and their own will directly, and never to influence their forces and relations regardless of their beliefs and their will. They are personally responsible for doing what they do,Pietra Gray Marble, where I cannot or cannot change what they do, and the Eternal Will will direct all things to the highest good. The important thing for me is that I respect their freedom, not that I block or cancel what I find evil in the application of their freedom. forustone.com
