Building upon many years of privately shared thoughts on the real benefits of Stoic Philosophy, Liam Milburn eventually published a selection of Stoic passages that had helped him to live well. They were accompanied by some of his own personal reflections. This blog hopes to continue his mission of encouraging the wisdom of Stoicism in the exercise of everyday life. All the reflections are taken from his notes, from late 1992 to early 2017.
The Death of Marcus Aurelius

Sayings of Ramakrishna 26
A man sitting under the shade of the Kalpavriksha, the wishing-tree, wished to be a king, and in an instant he was a king.
The next moment he wished to have a charming damsel, and the damsel was instantly by his side.
The man then thought within himself, if a tiger came and devoured him, and alas! in an instant he was in the jaws of a tiger!
God is like that wishing-tree: whosoever in His presence thinks that he is destitute and poor, remains as such, but he who thinks and believes that the Lord fulfills all his wants, receives everything from Him.
