You should discover your own reality and not thwart yourself. For you have the self as your only friend, or as your only enemy.
-Srimad Bhagavad Gita
You should discover your own reality and not thwart yourself. For you have the self as your only friend, or as your only enemy.
Hiding how you really feel and trying to make everyone happy doesn't make you nice, it just makes you a liar.
-Jenny O'connell
I exhort you also to take part in the great combat, which is the combat of life, and greater than every other earthly conflict.
There is the solitude of suffering, when you go through darkness that is lonely, intense, and terrible. Words become powerless to express your pain; what others hear from your words is so distant and different from what you are actually suffering.
- John O'donohue
If there is meaning in life at all, then there must be meaning in suffering.
-Viktor Frankl
After helping someone, if you expect a gesture of gratitude from him, then there
is no point in helping. If you feel good when he expresses his gratitude, then too
helping is useless. In that case, you must understand that your help was merely
a means to satiate your ego.
-Deep Trivedi
Neither do we have to make the sun or moon rise nor manage gravitation. We do
not even have to convert the food that we eat into blood. All that we have to do
is, put our own life on the path of peace, bliss and success. Isn't it amusing that
we, who claim ourselves to be so intelligent, cannot do even this bit of work?
-Deep Trivedi
Only the person having firm conviction and iron volition can attain strength and energy. At no stage of karma does he ever hesitate.
