Are You Walking Your Talk?

“In order to live with integrity, we must stop fragmenting and compartmentalizing our lives.  Telling lies at work and then expecting great truths in meditation is nonsensical.”

                            Sharon Salzberg

 

I’ve been alternately amused and irritated recently by many people talking about gaining greater personal and even spiritual development through reading a book, talking about it and simultaneously living in direct opposition to what they’re professing to know.

I admire spiritual teacher and author Ms. Salzberg:  she’s enthusiastic about her approach through meditation and stays grounded in the ultimate value of integrity, of living consistent with what we profess to be true.

How about you?  Are you walking your talk?

With love and respect,

Robert
