“If you’re saddened by another’s sorrow, then sorrow will never come to you. If you are happy at another’s joy then joy will never leave you.”

Faith is realizing that you always get what you need.

Love is giving everything and taking nothing.

The quality of our lives depends on the quality of our minds.

Want, or desire, arises when you are not happy. Have you seen this? When you are very happy then there is contentment. Contentment means no want.

When a bud breaks it becomes a flower, when a heart breaks it becomes divine.

Meditation is the journey from sound to silence, from movement to stillness, from a limited identity to unlimited space.

Life is a combination of destiny and free will. Rain is destiny; whether you get wet or not is free will!

What puts you on the road is your desire to enjoy. What brings you home is being in love.

Nothing in the world can bother you as much as your own mind, I tell you. In fact, others seem to be bothering you, but it is not others, it is your own mind.

When attention is given to the spiritual aspect of one’s life, it brings a sense of belongingness, and responsibility, compassion and caring for the whole of humanity.

If there are ripples on the surface of a lake, we cannot see the depth. Similarly unless the mind is restful, we cannot experience the harmony and union within us.

Wake up and realize this is all made up of thoughts, just thoughts. Your appreciation of beauty is a thought; your aversion to an object that is ugly is a thought. Your craving or aversion is nothing but a passing thought in the mind. Realize this is just a thought and you will be free.

If you are unhappy, even the moon irritates you, sweet things nauseate, music disturbs. When you are calm and centered inside, noise is musical, clouds are magical, rain is liquid love.

When all doors are shut and you have nowhere to go, that is when you go within. Every crisis is an opportunity and you are the beginning.

When you are infinitely indebted for your body, for Knowledge, for things you have received, and for your own life, then you bask in the abundance of the Creator

Nothing in the world can bother you as much as your own mind, I tell you. In fact, others seem to be bothering you, but it is not others, it is your own mind.

Don’t be like a TV reacting to somebody else’s fingers on the remote control. Decide yourself when you want to be happy or sad or whatever.

When people say they are looking for happiness, I ask, What are you giving to the world?

Try to find happiness in all the places you once felt sadness. ⠀

Things shift externally then it shift internally. After all, happiness is an inside job.

Don’t feel guilty to move on from people who are hindering your growth and happiness.

Observe, every day with a positive attitude, you’ll realize there are thousands of reasons to be happy.

My faith helps me understand that circumstances don’t dictate my happiness, my inner peace.

Give yourself credit for how far you have come and cherish and build on those happy moments.
