From my guru
Nov. 26th, 2002 09:42 amTake a board. Place a variety of pebbles at one end. Take the end of the board where the pebbles are, and tilt it up a little. Some pebbles roll to the bottom, other roll off the side, others move slightly, some don't move at all, and all the pebbles that move have their own path.
Rate each pebble according to its pebbleness, on a scale of one to five.
Its pebbleness has nothing to do with the test that was applied.
That's what's being done, not only when a person is rated, but when a person rates or judges what's going on with himself. You look at things as they are, which is simply as they are, not at their comparative behavior on a slanted board.
Looking at things as they are is love and ahimsa.
