What You Know And What You Do

Physicist and philosopher Thomas Campbell says “the quality of your being expresses the correctness of your understanding”. Are you perceived as kind, good, generous, trustworthy etc. If not, than this is a reflection of your understanding the nature of reality. Are you occasionally grumpy, nasty, self-centered dishonest etc? Well, then this expresses the correctness (or incorrectness) of your understanding as well. You say you’re only occasionally a jerk? Doesn’t matter. It means that your understanding of eternal verities is incomplete. Don’t work on the behaviors. Work on your understanding of the highest truth about the you-niverse and the quality of your being will improve accordingly.
