If you are not in the state of either acceptance, enjoyment, or enthusiasm, look closely and you will find that you are creating suffering for yourself and others.
Surrender is the inner transition from resistance to acceptance, from no to yes.
Presence is a state of inner spaciousness.
It is our attitude toward events, not events themselves, which we can control. Nothing is by its own nature calamitous – even death is terrible only if we fear it.
Everything has its wonders, even darkness and silence, and I learn, whatever state I may be in, therein to be content.
Within you there is a stillness and sanctuary to which you can retreat at any time and be yourself.
There is no reality except the one contained within us.
Patience is that the heart does not feel anger towards that which is destined and that the mouth does not complain.
Peace in your mind, peace on earth, peace at work, peace at home, peace in the world.
Harboring unforgiveness is like drinking poison and hoping your enemy will die.
Let us forgive each other – only then will we live in peace.
Forgive those who have hurt you.
Thoughts are like drops of water: with our thoughts we can drown in a sea of negativity, or we can float on the ocean of life.
Be like the rocky headland on which the waves constantly break. It stands firm, and round it the seething waters are laid to rest.
Nowhere can man find a quieter or more untroubled retreat than in his own soul.
A miracle is a shift in perception from fear to love.
A miracle is a shift in perception from fear to love-from a belief in what is not real, to faith in that which is. That shift in perception changes everything.
When we surrender to God, we let go of our attachment to how things happen on the outside, and we become more concerned with what happens on the inside.
Always seek less turbulent skies. Hurt. Fly above it. Betrayal. Fly above it. Anger. Fly above it. You are the one who is flying the plane.
If you don’t go within, you go without.
