One cannot be exploited or thwarted from nine to five, then come home and feel loving and lovable.

We are not rich by what we possess but by what we can do without.

Immanuel Kant

[✨ بدرالدين الخزرجي✨ @ibn_al_ansar]

ربي ان الشيطان مس نفسي بظرر فلاكاشف له إلا أنت فا شفني بنورك يارحمن يارحيم ياشافي ياحق .

[Swami Maharaji @SwamiMaharaji]

Your life will not end with death. You are Immortal. You were always there and you always will be.

Zain Hashm

[Swami Maharaji @SwamiMaharaji]

Many of my daily preoccupations suggest that I belong more to the world than to God. A little criticism makes me angry, and a little rejection makes me depressed. A little praise raises my spirits, and a little success excites me. It takes very little to raise me up or thrust me down. Often I am like a small boat on the ocean, completely at the mercy of its waves. All the time and energy I spend in keeping some kind of balance and preventing myself from being tipped over and drowning shows that my life is mostly a struggle for survival: not a holy struggle, but an anxious struggle resulting from the mistaken idea that it is the world that defines me.

Henri J.M. Nouwen, The Return of the Prodigal Son

[Swami Maharaji @SwamiMaharaji]

I would argue that nothing gives life more purpose than the realization that every moment of consciousness is a precious and fragile gift.

—Steven Pinker

[Swami Maharaji @SwamiMaharaji]

Each person is sacred, no matter what his or her culture, religion, handicap, or fragility. Each person is created in God’s image each one has a heart, a capacity to love and to be loved.

Jean Vanier

[Swami Maharaji @SwamiMaharaji]

When this world is ever ablaze, why this laughter, why this jubilation?
Shrouded in darkness, will you not see the light?

- Dhammapada chapter 11 v 146

[Swami Maharaji @SwamiMaharaji]

The greatest achievement is selflessness.
The greatest worth is self-mastery.
The greatest quality is seeking to serve others.
The greatest precept is continual awareness.
The greatest medicine is the emptiness of everything.
The greatest action is not conforming with the worlds ways.
The greatest magic is transmuting the passions.
The greatest generosity is non-attachment.
The greatest goodness is a peaceful mind.
The greatest patience is humility.
The greatest effort is not concerned with results.
The greatest meditation is a mind that lets go.
The greatest wisdom is seeing through appearances.

“Usually when we hear or read something new, we just compare it to our own ideas. If it is the same, we accept it and say that it is correct. If it is not, we say it is incorrect. In either case, we learn nothing.”

~ Thich Nhat Hanh

[Ananda @_anandaonly]

Embrace the unknown

"Knowledge is a form of ignorance. To know is to be limited."

Nisargadatta Maharaj

[Nisargadatta Maharaj @Nisargadatta_M]

First you create a world, then the ‘I am’ becomes a person, who is not happy for various reasons. He goes out in search of happiness, meets a Guru who tells him: ‘You are not a person, find who you are’. He does it and goes beyond.

[Swami Maharaji @SwamiMaharaji]

Pain is God’s microphone to a deaf world.

G K Chesterton

[Swami Maharaji @SwamiMaharaji]

Avoid places that disturb your mind, and always remain where your virtues increase.

Souls without prayer are like bodies, palsied and lame, having hands and feet they cannot use.
