Prejudice Inhibits Open-Mindedness

If we are locked in pre-conceived ideas about ourself and others, it is we who become the problem. We cannot put the world right, but we can put our selves right.

When we live within a material and political existence, we become uncompromising, dogmatic ideologues, blaming others and never looking at ourself.

There is only one principle which is undeniably true and that we all have in common, and that is awareness.

On investigation through meditation, we realise that this awareness is what we actually are – pure awareness that has nothing to do with our likes and dislikes which make us hostile to others.

Pure awareness is fundamental to reality, and is the only constant.
Prejudice blinds us to this elemental reality.

Once we are blind, we are open to manipulation,
and can be influenced by clumsy attempts to confuse.

Pure consciousness opens our eyes to wisdom.
