Living Beautifully with Uncertainty and Change
by Pema Chodron
When feelings of desire or cravings arise, or the urge to act out of aggression arises, "Do not act! he warns. "Be silent, do not speak!"
That's the outer work. And then there's also the inner work of exploring what happens next when you don't act and don't speak.
When the mind is wild with mockery
And filled with pride and haughty arrogance,
And when you want to show the hidden faults of others,
To bring dissensions or act deceitfully,
And when you want to fish for praise
Or criticize and spoil another's name
Or use harsh language, sparring for a fight,
It's then that like a log you should remain.
