“The nature of mind is that it loves everything once it loves itself, just as it opposes everything when it opposes itself.”

All the advice you ever gave your partner is for you to hear.

When you argue with reality, you lose, but only 100% of the time.

Gratitude is what we are without a story.

The most important relationship is the mind’s relationship with itself. In other words, the ultimate – and, really, the only – relationship you have is the relationship with your own thoughts.

It’s not a little thing to lose your identification and who you believe yourself to be.

You can’t have your daughter as long as you have a concept of her. When you get rid of the concept, you meet your daughter for the first time. That’s the way this works.

Your parents are your projection-nothing more.

Just keep coming home to yourself, you are the one who you’ve been waiting for.

Every uncomfortable feeling, every pain, every moment of stress & suffering is for your own self-realization.

When you realize that every stressful moment you experience is a gift that points you to your own freedom, life becomes very kind.

Reality is always kinder than your thinking.

If you don’t like your world, question your thoughts about it.

Do you want to meet the love of your life? Look in the mirror.

I love the world, because I love the mind that created the world.

When you become a lover of what is, the war is over.

Whenever you think that your needs are not being met, you’re telling the story of a future.

Peace is not merely an absence of war. It is also a state of mind.

You have to take care of yourself, your body, your mind, take care of your soul-be your own keeper.

Whatever a man depends upon, whatever rules his mind, whatever governs his affections, whatever is the chief object of his delight, is his god.

I wasn’t sure of the exact mindset you should have when you go into a Test match. So I probably became too defensive when I played my first Test match. Short balls in one-day cricket, I have never thought of just defending.

Quickly, bring me a beaker of wine, so that I may wet my mind and say something clever.

Prayer guards hearts and minds and causes God to bring peace out of chaos.

It is not your duty or responsibility to change the minds of other people. The nature of their thinking is advanced or limited by their experience. In your presence, they have an opportunity to learn about you and, perhaps, to grow.

You have to stay fresh and blank in your mind when you go out to bat. You complicate things, and you’re gone.
