Regulate your breathing, and thereby control the mind.
-A Spiritual Leader
The end is the beginning of all things, suppressed and hidden, awaiting to be released through the rhythm of pain and pleasure… Pain itself destroys pain. Suffering itself frees man from suffering.
This is peace, this is excellent, namely the calm of all impulses, the casting out of all “basis”, the extinction of craving, dispassion, stopping-nirvana.
I care about your happiness just as you care about mine. I could not be at peace if you were not.
-Khalil Gibran
Burnt offerings, sacred feasts, intense meditations, puja and taking millions of cleansing baths at sacred shrines of pilgrimage: the merits of all these can be obtained by enshrining Lord within your heart for a fraction of a second.
I am one of your those religious gurus, who upon realizing that I have no qualities
to grow in life like art, science, the spirit of hard work or any qualification have
opened a shop of promises and blessings... And see, today I possess the land
bank spread over acres, my own ashram and thousands of intelligent followers
like you.
-Deep Trivedi
If you hear a voice within you say you cannot paint, then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced.
-Vincent van Gogh
