What do we do when we see someone drowning? Of course the answer is to try to help then. The dilemma comes when the person refuses to accept the fact that they are drowning. Then there comes that other rub, there are thousands of people in the same condition and we ourselves are in the water up to our necks. What do we do? A simple answer is to teach people to swim better. After (of course) we learn how to ourselves. This is what our practice is about learning how to swim in the ocean of illusion. Only then can we save others and usually only when they want to be saved. Until then love people and feed people either materially or spiritually (or both).
