I call him religious who understands the suffering of others.

Mind is consciousness, which has limitations. We are originally unlimited and perfect. Later on we take on limitations and become the mind…There is no mind to control if you realise the self. The mind having vanished, the self shines forth.
It is not your love that sustains the marriage,
but from now on, the marriage that sustains your love
-Dietrich Bonhoeffer
If we only practice compassion at the mind level, we run a great risk of our compassion being just talk. As we know, talk is cheap. To develop true compassion we have to put our money where our mouth is.
The act which has the right balance of love, concentration, knowledge and karma
is positive, whatever else you do, the results are bound to be negative.
-Deep Trivedi
Garden is a grand teacher. It teaches patience and careful watchfulness; it teaches industry and thrift; above all it teaches entire trust.
There is freedom in stepping out and taking risks when you know at any given moment, you can always begin again.
-Eva Gregory
