You know that if you get in the water and have nothing to hold on to, but try to behave as you would on dry land, you will drown. But if, on the other hand, you trust yourself to the water and let go, you will float, find this exactly the situation of faith.

-Thomas Merton
Follow me, and let the people speak: stay still like a tower which doesn’t collapse when a strong wind blows.

them. Generally problems come and go, there really is nothing much for you to
do in it.
-Deep Trivedi
You may control a mad elephant; You may shut the mouth of the bear and the tiger; Ride the lion and play with the cobra; By alchemy you may earn your livelihood; You may wander through the universe incognito; Make vassals of the gods; be ever youthful; You may walk on water and live in fire; But control of the mind is better and more difficult.
-A Spiritual Leader
