Rules for Being Human from the Sanskrit

Rules for Being Human Handed down from Ancient Sanskrit* (as paraphrased,2012) 1. You will receive a body. You may like it or not, but it will be yours for your entire life- journey. 2. You will learn lessons. Life is the school you are enrolled in. You will learn lots of lessons including stupid ones. 3. There are no mistakes, only lessons. 4. Learning a lesson is simply repeating it until it is learned. 5. Learning lessons is a continuous and endless process. If you are alive you learn lesson. But if you are alive and do not learn lessons, perhaps you are a zombie. 6. Learning occurs “Here”. 7. Others are merely mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects to you something you love or hate about yourself. 8. What you make out of your life is up to you. You have all the tools and resources you need, what you do with them is all up to you. The choice is yours. 9. The answers lie inside you. All you need to do is to look, listen and trust. # *It is an Indo-Aryan language which traces back 1,500 BCE.
