The Greatest of All



"We think too much and feel too little."
-Charlie Chaplin



-From the 1894 book "Brother of the 3rd Degree." 




A lot of people in their conquest of personality development and character building,  more often than not, manage to acquire a lot of information and knowledge about developing one's potential (business, academic excellence, organizational expansion, physical/ energetic prowess) but very seldom or close to even rare, very rare, do people are able to control their feelings.

Most people only pass the control of the body and mind part but even experienced individuals fails on the last part, the control of feelings.

Because 99% of people feelings are like that of a little dog always swinging from one extreme to the next (excitement to depressions).

Always irritated, always reacting, always on the defensive mode, because most teachers, schools and church only teach concepts and intellectual ideas but not how to handle or control feelings. These teaching gets stuck mostly on the logical side part and not on the feeling side.

If you are reading this and you are a person who seeks to elevate your powers to the next level towards character development take note of your self to learn to control your feelings. 

And also, take note of your teachers and gurus if they could consistently handle themselves.

The true student of the path is able to control her/his feelings under all circumstances no matter how irritating or disturbing the conditions might be.

For the seeker.

  1. He who controls the heart, controls everything because people are easily swayed by feelings and emotions.
