About This Quote
The Bible says, "blessed are the poor in spirit", which means heaven that is the true world will become one's own when he discards his false mind completely. In this world, we often encounter many things that make us feel depressed or unhappy. However, we should not let those experiences change who we are, but instead learn to be happy and enjoy life more. That is why we should always remember that it is our mind that makes a difference in a good or a bad situation.
If we treat our minds as an enemy and hate them, then our happiness can be destroyed. However, if we have a good attitude and keep on being positive, everything will work out for us.
