I go to nature to be soothed and healed, and to have my senses put in order.
Meditation is a way to be narcissistic without hurting anyone
Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. It is far better take things as they come along with patience and equanimity.
Joy is hidden in sorrow and sorrow in joy. If we try to avoid sorrow at all costs, we may never taste joy, and if we are suspicious of ecstasy, agony can never reach us either. Joy and sorrow are the parents of our spiritual growth.
No one is more dangerously insane than one who is sane all the time: he is like a steel bridge without flexibility, and the order of his life is rigid and brittle.
The game of speculation is the most uniformly fascinating game in the world. But it is not a game for the stupid, the mentally lazy, the person of inferior emotional balance, or the get-rich-quick adventurer. They will die poor.
Love and fear are the two opposite ends of the continuum, as far as I'm concerned. When we are not in love, we are in fear.
Meditation, more than any other factor, has been the reason for what success I've had.
Madness passed me by, she smiled hi. I nodded.
I'm very blessed that I have a healthy temper. I can become quite angry and burning in anger, but I have never been bitter. Bitterness is a corrosive, terrible acid. It just eats you and makes you sick.
As a person, I don't feel insecure about most things in life. From relationships, friendships to work, I am quite at peace in my head.
Health is worth more than learning
I've laughed, and I've cried. Laughing has got it over crying.
I neither complain of the past, nor do I fear the future.
You get World Peace through Inner Peace. If you've got a world full of people who have Inner Peace, then you have a Peaceful World.
The moment you wake up each morning, all your wishes and hopes for the day rush at you like wild animals. And the first job each morning consists in shoving it all back; in listening to that other voice, taking that other point of view, letting that other, larger, stronger, quieter life come flowing in.
We cannot selectively numb emotions, when we numb the painful emotions, we also numb the positive emotions.
Strong feelings are fine; it's the overreactions that mess us up.
If thou do ill, the joy fades, not the pains. If well, the pain doth fade, the joy remains.
A life that is without problems may literally be more hopeless, than one that always verges on despair.
Find a place inside where there's joy, and the joy will burn out the pain.
Failure isn't so bad if it doesn't attack the heart. Success is all right if it doesn't go to the head.
The walls we build around us to keep sadness out also keeps out the joy.
Life consists of two days: one for you and one against you, so when it's for you don't be proud or reckless, and when it's against you be patient, for both days are test for you
Little things console us because little things afflict us.
