How one should See

and... the day gets worse.

But is worse really anything more then perception?

I was listening to Ananda Radio online streaming and they had an audio reading from The Essence of the Bhagavad Gita.  I didn't catch the chapter this is from, and this is all paraphrased from what I heard:

As the swan's wings are unaffected by the water - so should the man of wisdom be unaffected by the world.

This doesn't mean he's indifferent - he doesn't desire anything for himself. 

The cause of perception for everything and everyone is from himself.

Rejoices in their good and grieves in their evil and what it will do to them.

His only desire is to help others to know God.

As I sat thinking about this - I can hear Rev. Michael Bernard Beckwith (in my mind), in a old memory of him saying:
I See... I see with NEW eyes....

This is the new eyes.  New perspective.  Not being caught in the emotion and the wave of like and dislike... But in bliss
