#34 — Chance and Meeting

Saturday 23 March 2013 | general

“We want everything that has value to be eternal.”

“Now everything that has a value is the product of a meeting, lasts throughout this meeting, and ceases when those things which  met are separated.”

VIV_9336

“That is the central idea of Buddhism (the thought of Heraclitus). It leads straight to God.”

VIV_9335

“Meditation on the chance which led to the meeting of my father and mother is even more salutary than meditation on death.”

VIV_9353

“Is there a single thing in me of which the origin is not to be found in that meeting? Only God. And yet again, my thought of God had its origin in that meeting.”

VIV_9350

And looking at our children, I have to think it was more than chance that led to my and Kinga’s meeting, but doesn’t every parent think that?
