On July 27, CBP officials in Chicago announced that it had seized a total of 19,888 counterfeit U.S. drivers’ licenses in separate shipments from Jan. 1 to June 30. The majority of these shipments originated from China and Hong Kong. China remains the top source of fake goods entering the U.S. market. According to statistics from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, CBP made 27,599 seizures in the fiscal year 2019. These goods would have had an estimated retail price of $1.5 billion if they were genuine.
Watches and jewelry represented 15 percent of 27,599 seizures, followed by apparel and accessories with 14 percent. Consumer electronics accounted for 10 percent or 2,681 seizures.
Among these seizures last year, 13,293 or 48 percent originated from China, followed by Hong Kong with 9,778 seizures or 35 percent. https://www.theepochtimes.com/us-customs-officials-seize-counterfeit-apple-products-from-china_3494647.html

199. A hostile will must be diverted to the good just as a stream is directed to the mill. But how many dams must the miller build before he can control the current! A hand must possess strength, and an eye vision, to perceive new possibilities. The most worthy labor is that performed with one's own hands. By labor do you unlock the gates to the land of your striving….Learn through the manifestations of life. --Leaves of Morya's Garden 1924

III, v, 16. Every youthful heart quivers with a presentiment of new forms. In these movements each new form, though imperfect, is more valuable that the polished old one. -Leaves of Morya's Garden 1925

369. This worm, irritation, concealed by a smile and politeness ceaselessly tunnels through the aura. Its harm undermines all works.
615. Why must the path of the Teaching be a path of accumulation? Can it not be offered in one dose, like a medicine? But the stomach is of limited dimension whereas consciousness is not a measurable constant….The foundation of consciousness is built by straight-knowledge, but the refining of consciousness is as slow as the polishing of a crystal. Not by one's opinion of oneself but by the quality of one's action is expansion of one's consciousness recognized.
 (by Schmiechen, 1884)

183. It is not the acceleration of technical discoveries that leads to concentration of the mind, but the desire of people themselves to learn something new. Yet, how can they learn if the most fundamental truths have not found a place in their consciousness?
223. It will seem almost too simple if We tell you that each incarnation like a medicine is intended to cure a particular unhealthy feature of the individual. The color white may seem equally simple, yet it contains in itself all colors. ---M: Supermundane 1, 1938

326. If you ask the ordinary man what he considers coarse, he will probably suggest foul talk, blasphemy and boorishness. But these are only some aspects of coarseness. The origins of coarseness are not recognized by most people. Only the one who deals with subtle energies can understand that coarseness is a violation of all that is subtle. People should understand that politeness is not a cure for rudeness. One can meet people who are polite yet coarse, and they will certainly be the last to admit it. -M: Supermundane 2, 1938
