Dear srk:

Looking at these quotes with my “beginner’s mind”, the first is senseless:

“You only have the right to labour, but you do not have the right to the fruits of your labour”- not so, says I: You do the labor, you have the right for the fruits of your labor. (I can imagine an employer using this quote in a court of law after refusing to pay an employee: my employee had the right to work for me, but he didn’t have the right for a paycheck!)

The second, “If you truly desire something, the entire Universe conspires to make it happen”- to evaluate this quote I will need to know what is the meaning of “Universe”- is it a god, the Earth, collection of plants and stars.. what is it?
