If you believe what you like in the gospels, and reject what you don't like, it is not the gospel you believe, but yourself.
-Saint Augustine of Hippo
The worthy person is grateful and mindful of benefits done to him. This gratitude, this mindfulness, is congenial to the best people.
-Bible
The refined form of "human" body, mind, culture and consciousness that we
witness today is the result of countless unsuccessful efforts spanning over millions
of years. We cannot afford to waste such a precious life only on education,
marriage, children, chasing wealth and pangs of old age.
-Deep Trivedi
Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
Your distress about life might mean you have been living for the wrong reason, not that you have no reason for living.
-Tom O'connor
One’s inner light alone is the means, naught else. When this inner light is kept alive, it is not affected by the darkness of inertia.
-A Spiritual Leader
The word enlightenment conjures up the idea of some superhuman accomplishment, and the ego likes to keep it that way, but it is simply your natural state of felt oneness with Being.
-Eckhart Tolle
Ester asked why people are sad.
“That’s simple,” says the old man. “They are the prisoners of their personal history. Everyone believes that the main aim in life is to follow a plan. They never ask if that plan is theirs or if it was created by another person. They accumulate experiences, memories, things, other people's ideas, and it is more than they can possibly cope with. And that is why they forget their dreams.”
-Paulo Coelho
