From R.H. Blyth:
“The outside of our mind remains full of fears, prejudices and cravings, yet not the same as before, because deep down inside there is the consciousness that All is Good without comparison or difference. Or to put it in another way, just as the hard horny hands of the young farmer do not become soft even though he falls in love with the gentle village maiden, so the man who is insensitive to the affection and charm of dogs, remains so after his enlightenment.”
