-Muriel Spark "Muriel Spark"
When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.

of the scientists and the peace, bliss and happiness is bestowed by the great
artists, then how can we revere them any less than Krishna, Buddha or Christ?
-Deep Trivedi
Nature's creation is such that whatever is worth attaining or beneficial for us, we
can get it automatically. But in the race to grab the things which are futile and
painful, we miss attaining them only.

You say: “He lost his life” or “my life”, as if life were something that you can possess or lose. The truth is: you don’t have a life, you are life. The One Life, the one consciousness that pervades the entire universe and takes temporary form to experience itself as a stone or blade of grass, as an animal, a person, a star or a galaxy.
-Eckhart Tolle "Eckhart Tolle"
Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass...It's about learning to dance in the rain.
