More From David Letterman

Everybody is different. some writers can write reams of great books and then j. d. salinger wrote just a few. beethoven wrote nine symphonies. they were all phenomenal. mozart wrote some 40 symphonies, and they were all phenomenal. that doesn't mean beethoven was a lesser writer, it's just some guys are capable of more productivity, some guys take more time.

People have stars, but they aren't the same. for travelers, the stars are guides. for other people, they're nothing but tiny lights. and for still others, for scholars, they're problems... but all those stars are silent stars. you, though, you'll have stars like nobody else... since i'll be laughing on one of them, for you it'll be as if all the stars are laughing. you'll have stars that can laugh!... and it'll be as if i had given you, instead of stars, a lot of tiny bells that know how to laugh.

The main problem is that most commentators are accustomed to thinking of spiritual schools as 'systems', which are more or less alike, and which depend upon dogma and ritual: and especially upon repetition and the application of continual and standardised pressures upon their followers.the sufi way, except in degenerate forms which are not to be classified as sufic, is entirely different from this.
Spiritual School Thinking
There is a class of persons to whom by all spiritual affinity i am bought and sold; for them i will go to prison, if need be; but your miscellaneous popular charities; the education at college of fools; the building of meeting-houses to the vain end to which many now stand; alms to sots; and the thousandfold relief societies; - though i confess with shame i sometimes succumb and give the dollar, it is a wicked dollar which by and by i shall have the manhood to withhold.
Spiritual College Class
As benjamin franklin said, 'those things that hurt, instruct.' it is for this reason that wise people learn not to dread but actually to welcome problems and actually to welcome the pain of problems.
