• Those who see what's obvious aren't necessarily brighter than others. They're just more likely to observe that the emperor is naked. Like children, they see what's actually there. Their perceptions are less clouded by belief systems, taboos, habits of thought. One responsibility of management--an important one--is to call attention to the invisible obvious, pointing it out as a child does (sometimes to the embarrassment of adults). Doing so also requires supporting employees who take that risk, too, and other risks as well.

• “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” This sentence alone would save mankind, if all books and prophets were lost. This purity of heart will bring the vision of God. It is the theme of the whole music of this universe. In purity is no bondage. Remove the veils of ignorance by purity; then we manifest ourselves as we really are and know that we were never in bondage. The seeing of 'many' is the great sin of all the world. See all as Self and love all; let all idea of separateness go.

• Life without meaning
  cannot be borne.
  We find a mission
  to which we're sworn
  -or answer the call
  of Death's dark horn.
  Without a gleaning
  of purpose in life,
  we have no vision,
  we live in strife,
  -or let blood fall
  on a suicide knife.

May Three Cups of Tea be a catalyst to bring the gift of literacy to each of those children who deserves a chance to go to school.
