One must practice with the bodhisattva attitude every day. People can't see your mind, what people see is a manifestation of your attitude in your actions of body & speech.Pay attention to your attitude all the time, guard it as if you are the police, a nanny who cares for a child, like a bodyguard

I did a little thinking about my feeling that I have people with me everywhere I go. No, I am not being followed. Just a sense I am caring for an inner community. Here is the result:

As a result, the idea of “converting” feels very weird. If you already believe that many rivers can flow into the same ocean, who do you convert?? Plus Hinduism, perhaps like Judaism, is as cultural as it is religious. So you can’t really abandon it wholesale w/o abandoning who you are. That’s all.

Take movies, for example. Sometimes what you see on the screen makes you afraid; sometimes it makes you so sad that you cry. It’s not reality; it’s an illusion. Therefore it’s very important that you remain aware of how the people and things around you affect your mind. Check up.
