Experience is one thing you can't get for nothing.
-Oscar Wilde
Keep your face always toward the sunshine - and shadows will fall behind you.
-Walt Whitman
Ultimately spiritual awareness unfolds when you’re flexible, when you’re spontaneous, when you’re detached, when you’re easy on yourself and easy on others.
One of the symptoms of an approaching nervous breakdown is the belief that one's work is terribly important.
-Bertrand Russell
Considering only your belief system to be true, you have been supporting it
firmly for ages. But why don't you understand that without taking constructive
criticism in your stride, it is impossible to tread the right path as per the need
of time. It is the law of human consciousness that the more one is open to his
own criticism, the more refined he gets. Only because of their own fanaticism,
the Muslim brothers all over the world are practically deprived of the immense
compassion of "intelligent" people.
-Deep Trivedi
Blessed with a priceless life, why should I not fit it with compassion for all beings?
