relative

Success is relative. We shouldn't compare the financial success between a person born into riches and the one born into abject poverty.

From that point of view, I realized that my hole was not miles deep after all. My father, in fact, could stand on the bottom and it only reached up to his chest.Darkness, you know, is relative.

Raped at age nine by a relative and pregnant at 14 Oprah Winfrey,like many others have experienced the wickedness and brutality ofour society. Sadly, it__ an environment where blood lines no longerhold.

If truth is relative, then it__ cousin is anarchy.

We live in relative world with relatives.

Never say that you can't do something, or that something seems impossible, or that something can't be done, no matter how discouraging or harrowing it may be; human beings are limited only by what we allow ourselves to be limited by: our own minds. We are each the masters of our own reality; when we become self-aware to this: absolutely anything in the world is possible.Master yourself, and become king of the world around you. Let no odds, chastisement, exile, doubt, fear, or ANY mental virii prevent you from accomplishing your dreams. Never be a victim of life; be it's conqueror.

I suppose it must be admitted that I was raised in a "dysfunctional" family, but in truth, I do not think I had any sense of that as I was growing up. Probably part of the reason was that all of my extended kin had families at least as dysfunctional as mine. Just to give a little of the flavor of it, my "Aunt Fern," who lived just across the street and was one of the most present and puissant female relatives in my life, was, to be genealogically precise, my mother's brother's, first wife's, second husband's, father's, 3rd, 4th, and 5th wife. (She married "Uncle Lew" three times in the course of her seven matrimonial ventures.)

That's not the same. What happened to you, to your species, it's... it doesn't even compare.''Why? Because it's worse?'She nodded.'But it still compares. If you have a fractured bone, and I've broken every bone in my body, does that make your fracture go away? Does it hurt you any less, knowing that I am in more pain?''No, but that's

Man is the measure of all things', said the Sophist Protagora (c. 485-410 B.C.). By that he meant that the question of whether a thing is right or wrong, good or bad, must always be considered in relation to a person's needs.

There is not a fragment in all nature, for every relative fragment of one thing is a full harmonious unit in itself.

Relative_ is a duality!

The puzzle that is created by seeing the __elative_ is called worldly life (sansaar)! It would never be this way had one seen the __eal_.

The worldly life [the relative] means 'superfluous'. Instead of superfluous, people believe it to be real (of nischaya) and then they even say, __his is indeed the way it should be, that is indeed the way it should be done.

There aren__ any __elative_ (worldly) things that is worth inviting. So what is worth inviting? The __lace_ where we have to go is worth knowing.

If you take an objection in the __elative_, it is intellectual rationalism. __e_ don__ have intellectual rationalism. __e_ are abuddha (do not have intellect) in the __elative_, and we are a Gnani [the enlightened one] in the __eal_.

In this era, there are all kinds of prakrutis (personality of the relative self), so how can it work without adjusting?

We live here for five to fifty years (in this world, in the relative) and we are searching for beautiful houses there, while where we have to live permanently (moksha; in the Real, Self), there is no work being done for it; and no one is even inquiring about that (place). The world is baseless/disorderly. __o something for here and do something for there_. We are not saying not to do anything for here. Do both. Don__ you have two hands?

When can it be said that one has entered into spirituality? Spirituality begins from the moment one gets the slight impression __ am somewhat different from this [the body?]_ And when dehadhyas, the belief of __ am the body, the relative self_, goes away; that is when spirituality is complete.
