Wisdom

The one whose mind knows the clarity of perfect wisdom is never afraid or even anxious. Why? Because when being at one with the living power of wisdom, the mother of all the buddhas, that person has the strength to remain in a state of undivided contemplation even while ceaselessly and skillfully engaging in compassionate action. The wise one is enabled to act because of concentration on a single prayer: "May all beings never leave the path of enlightenment, which is their own true nature and is empty of separate self-existence."
- Prajnaparamita

The time of action does not differ at all from the time of prayer; I possess God as tranquilly in the bustle of my kitchen - where sometimes several people are asking me different things at one time - as if I were on my knees before the blessed Sacrament.
