“In your quest for success and happiness, seek to conquer first all your weaknesses; for if you don’t, you’ll author all your woes, but if you do, you can fight all your foes.”
“Are we happy seeing injustices? Can we stand the endless sound of distress? It’s high time we bind ourselves together and, once and for all, make our world better. But how do we bind ourselves together? Do what’s right in the eyes of the Maker. All values He put them in our system: “We know what’s good and bad when we see them.”
“All religions are good, yet they are but shirts: “Change your religion and you have changed your shirt.” God looks not at your shirt but at your heart: “Do not change your religion, change your heart.”
“We’re all born at once with intelligence: Some with little, others with sufficience. What books and schools impart is but knowledge: “Lots of it, but low I.Q., is no edge.” What is knowledge like?—“Knowing the problem.” Intelligence like?—“Solving the problem.” We need both to face a life that is rough: “Either one or other is not enough!”
“You must completely believe in yourself, believe you can do all things with God’s help! Know that if you don’t believe in yourself, though having goals is of no any help.”
“We cannot tinker with our emotion the way we edit our punctuations. What we can tinker is our attitude about the things we find not right or good.”
“Say, who else could best care for the country, but the very people of the country. Who else could best care for the family, but the very parts of the family. Who else could best care for the company, but the very staff of the company. Who else could best care for soul and body, but the very lord of soul and body.”
“Know the very great things about yourself that to joy and success will give you help. Try hard to use all those strengths to the hilt, lest the challenges you meet make you quit!”
“Know the very bad things about yourself that to joy and success are of no help. Try hard to remove them with all your might, lest all those negative things give you blights!”
“Some choose silence, others publicity. Some choose virtue, others depravity. Some choose compassion, others cruelty. Some choose plainness, others profligacy. Our values do determine our choices. To control choices, values we harness. But to change values is hardest of all— it’s like separating body and soul.”
“Death of a loved one is devastating, more so if it came without a warning. To move on with less pain, try this one view: “Live with joy for they are now watching you.”
“Good Karma? Good things we’ve done in our life shall one day come back—so good and so right! At times, not straight to us when they come back, but to loved ones—donees of our good acts! Bad Karma? Bad things we’ve done in our life shall one day come back—same width and same height! At times, not straight to us when they come back, but to loved ones—victims of our ill acts!”
“In your search for success and happiness, may “passion” be in your list of prowess. Whether it’s just a small thing or big thing, “passion” be always there flapping its wings.”
“All preachers who distort God for money stand supreme in all of world’s infamy. Oh you’ll love these tricksters when you hear them, they’ll teach you how to get rich just like them. But the worst are those who exact money even from people mired in poverty. Whereas God aims rest for all the laden, these grabbing phonies add more to burden.”
“If you are working for a company, check that you afford it your loyalty. If you’re urged to badmouth the company, check that you dare forego your salary.”
“I love everything God had created, all things for man’s joy he had imparted. So joyful that though however laden, knowing we still breathe is yet a heaven. But, be that as it may, there’s just that one I find saddest of all under the sun. And this is the pain of our departing: “Ending the joy and leaving our darlings.”
“Those who seek the symbol of a lion— they take criticism as diamond. Those who think they have arrived on all fronts— they take criticism as an affront.”
