Life is available only in the present moment.
Here is my secret: I don’t mind what happens.
Now is the time to take back your energy, your power, and your peace.
Self-care is never a selfish act – it is only good stewardship of the only gift I have, the gift I was put on earth to offer others.
There is nothing to prove and nothing to protect. I am who I am and it’s enough.
Christian contentment is that sweet, inward, quiet, gracious frame of spirit, which freely submits to and delights in God’s wise and fatherly disposal in every condition.
I – Want – Peace, I is ego, Want is desire; Remove ego and desire and you have peace.
You can develop the right mental attitude when you realize that nothing external can upset you or hurt you without your mental consent.
Be still and quiet, tune in with the Infinite Intelligence, and continue in right thought, right feeling, and right action, and you will arrive at your goal.
Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win.
There is no way to peace. Peace is the way.
Life is short and the time of death is uncertain; so apply yourself to meditation. Avoid doing evil, and acquire merit, to the best of your ability, even at the cost of life itself. In short: Act so that you have no cause to be ashamed of yourselves and hold fast to this rule.
Practice peace, change your world.
Don’t be too quick to interpret the moment. Just keep quiet. My encouragement would always be: never think anything is against you, everything is blessing. Why should it be different? Just be quiet. Let it all work itself out.
When you drop all your ideas, fantasies and projections about who you are and what freedom is and remain completely empty, this is freedom.
To change the world is not your mission. To change yourself is not your duty. To awaken to your true nature is your opportunity.
Don’t belong to anything. Don’t belong to anyone. Just Be. Feel your Being first and foremost, and don’t compare or compete. Just Be your Being.
You already are, the peace you are looking for. Be still and know that.
If there is no peace in the minds of individuals, how can there be peace in the world? Make peace in your own mind first.
The only conversion involved in Vipassana is from misery to happiness, from bondage to liberation.
