A worldly friend is a stained mirror.
He is not totally frank and sees your faults only sometimes.
He only voices them out to you sometimes.
More out of complaint than concern for your spiritual
well-being.
Sometimes others are spiritual friends to us.
Sometimes others are worldly friends to us.
Sometimes we are spiritual friends to others.
Sometimes we are worldly friends to others.
Have you been a spiritual friend to yourself and others lately?
Learn to be one from the perfect spiritual friend of all,
who was friend to all - the Buddha.
(The Daily Enlightenment)
