Music is the language of the spirit. It opens the secret of life bringing peace, abolishing strife.
Peace is always beautiful.
Hatred paralyzes life; love releases it. Hatred confuses life; love harmonizes it. Hatred darkens life; love illuminates it.
World peace must develop from inner peace. Peace is not just mere absence of violence. Peace is, I think, the manifestation of human compassion.
In the midst of movement and chaos, keep stillness inside of you.
We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory will swell when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.
Drink your tea slowly and reverently, as if it is the axis on which the world earth revolves – slowly, evenly, without rushing toward the future.
Always aim at complete harmony of thought and word and deed. Always aim at purifying your thoughts and everything will be well.
You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today.
Peace is the only battle worth waging.
I promise you nothing is as chaotic as it seems. Nothing is worth diminishing your health. Nothing is worth poisoning yourself into stress, anxiety, and fear.
Pleasure is always derived from something outside you, whereas joy arises from within.
We live in a world where we have to hide to make love, while violence is practiced in broad daylight.
I call him religious who understands the suffering of others.
The mind can go in a thousand directions, but on this beautiful path, I walk in peace. With each step, the wind blows. With each step, a flower blooms.
If you get the inside right, the outside will fall into place. Primary reality is within; secondary reality without.
Each one has to find his peace from within. And peace to be real must be unaffected by outside circumstances.
My meditation is simple. It does not require any complex practices. It is simple. It is singing. It is dancing. It is sitting silently.
I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. This is why right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant.
Nothing can bring you peace but yourself. Nothing can bring you peace but the triumph of principles.
