Insults: Remain Immobile

It is much more difficult to remain calm, immobile, unshakable before something very unpleasent- whether it be words or acts levelled against you- infinitely more difficult than to answer with the same violence. Suppose someone insults you: if in the face of these insults you can remain immobile(integrally), without being shaken or touched in any way: you are there like a force against which one can do nothing and you do not make a gesture, you do not say a word, all the insults thrown at you leave absolutely untouched, within and without you can keep your heart-beats absolutely quiet, you can keep the thoughts in your head quite immobile and calm without their being in the least disturbed that is your head does not answer immediately by similar vibrations and your nerves don't feel clenched with the need to return a few blows relieve themselves; if you can be like that, you have a static power, and it is infinitely more powerful than if you had that kind of force which makes you answer insult by insult, blow by blow and agitation by agitation.

What is yours today was somebody else’s in the past and will be somebody else’s in the future. You think i...

  The American astronaut Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin were the first humans to set their foot on the Moon surface on July 20, 1969, with the words: “That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.'
