especially for animal lovers
Nisargadatta states that upon awakening, the Sage becomes an embodiment of a sense of justice, of the right versus wrong, and also develops the power to do something about it.

"Change your thinking, change your life." and more importatnly, "Change your thinking, and keep it changed." Thinking is okay as far as it goes, but it doesn't go very far in the direction of the absolute. To go THERE, one must leave all thinking behind. BTW who is the thinker who thinks thinking should be changed?

A short list of the major sage justice accomplishments would be helpful at this point. (Edji excluded)

In order to be effective, truth must penetrate like an arrow--and that is likely to hurt.

and one more longish one liner from Wei Wu Wei:
Having found no self that is not other, the seeker must find that there is no other that is not self, so that in the absence of both other and self, there may be known the perfect peace of the presence of absolute absence.
