The Teacher replied: “In your Universe people take advantage of each other. In mine, people take care of each other. When a person in need comes to me for help, I give it to them. I do not judge whether the need is ‘genuine.’ It is a privilege for me to fulfill another’s need, even if what they truly need is just to know that I care about them. No one can take advantage of me, because I freely and willingly give what is asked.”

Teachings of Love and Comfort
One reason for Spontaneous Beauty is to bring teachings of love and comfort to people who are struggling with some aspect of life. Most of us struggle daily with one thing or another, especially in these trying times.
I would like to share a selection of teachings with those who may find them helpful. Please be aware that these are for the most part meant to be food for meditation and contemplation, not platitudinous thought-bites. If you take them seriously, you risk changing your life in the way they have changed mine. I believe the change brings greater peace. As you will see, the central principle is Love.
Here are some relevant posts.
