“All pursuits are pointless and fruitless unless and until love and compassion are found and then are the foundation and destination of all you do.”

Take a walk outside – it will serve you far more than pacing around in your mind.

Tomorrow’s leaders will not lead dictating from the front, nor pushing from the back. They will lead from the centre – from the heart.

Your job is to do your job with all your heart to the best of your ability. Life will go it’s own merry way at it’s own pace. But if you do then you – and life – will be the richer for you being here.

Throw your arms around the world and hold on tight. But not through fear but because of your love.

The reason that so many fail to find happiness is that they fail to find gratitude.

I’ve no interest in being thought provoking. Who needs more thoughts. I’d rather go down as one who is thought disposing.

The world is already yours – why try to conquer it?

It’s not the depth of your intellect that will comfort you or transform your world. Only the richness of your heart and your generosity of spirit can do that

Odd how we focus on studying wars at at school to form our ‘education’. No wonder we know so little about making and forging peace as adults.

The moment that you give gratitude is the moment that you find happiness. The moment that you lose gratitude your happiness will vanish and slip through your fingers

Live your life, sing your song. Not full of expectations. Not for the ovations. But for the joy of it.

First one must understand conditioning – only then can we speak of choice

The land of possibility is a better place to make your home than the realm of expectation will ever be.

Goals are only ever a guide; a winding, changing path. It’s your heart that will really keep you on tack… and nourished along the way.

The mind will enchain yourself, others or both. Your heart will set you / them free.

You will rarely make wise decisions if you surround yourself with fools

Give, but, if possible, spare the poor man the shame of begging.

It is easy to be swept away by some overwhelming feeling, so it’s helpful to remember that any stressful feeling is like a compassionate alarm clock that says, “You’re caught in the dream.”

I’m intelligent enough to survive happily and be compassionate. If I were too smart, I would realize all the ills of the world.

When you see the world that God sees, you see a world that is loving, compassionate, and filled with individuals who live together in harmony and peace.

Life is short. Time is fleeting. Realize the Self. Purity of the heart is the gateway to God. Aspire. Renounce. Meditate. Be good; do good. Be kind; be compassionate. Inquire, know Thyself.

So if you have over-indulged during the holidays, for example, please don’t beat yourself up, but rather have compassion and forgiveness and perhaps, even try the Ho’oponono technique.

Compassion without detachment is attachment to the bodily platform.

We must be instruments of God’s compassion to those who are suffering.
