Pearls of Inner Wisdom
56.Unfaltering
For the moment, most of us
have no idea
how much merits we have.
But when we attain
the Dhammakaya,
we will know it for ourselves.
Therefore from this moment on,
pursue perfection to the fullest.
Don't give in to irritation, sulking,
despair or boredom.
Take Khun Yay Ajahn as your model.
She pursued perfection without faltering,
to the point her health gave way -
But she had already achieved
victory in her life
seeing her body as nothing more
than
sugar cane, from which
all the sweetness had been squeezed
-
her body as a husk
to be cast aside
for its final elemental breakdown
into solid, liquid, air and heat.
So take Khun Yay Ajahn as your example.
Follow in her footsteps
and the success she gained
will be yours.
