“Our souls gravitate toward the things meant for us, and everything that is meant for us isn t necessarily pretty, but whatever we are pulled toward is necessary for our growth.”
“Whenever i find myself losing faith in humanity, i come back to the classical music. They are a great reminder that we are also able to produce beautiful things made out of strong and barely controllable emotions.”
“It does not matter how strong and well prepared you are, if you have no direction”
“Remember that when you judge others you are likely judging the very angel you deputized to act out that role as a part of your drama of working to become whole and unconditionally loving.”
“As a leader, you have the power to ask questions that can provoke self-examination, creative thinking, and problem solving in the other person!”
“I am surrounded with molecules.”
“Self is the source of all courage and self is the source of all weakness. Self is the source of all joy and self is the source of all sorrows. That very self can make this world a beautiful place and that very self can also make this world a miserable place. The only thing that distinguishes the one from the other, is your intention.”
“As a leader, you have the power to ask questions that can provoke self-examination, creative thinking, and problem solving in the other person.”
“It does not matter how strong well prepared you are, if you have no direction”
“She was the world to me. Of course, I knew nothing about my own world.”
“I’ve become more aware of myself. Because of the situation. Now that I’m no I’m leaving, I see things differently. I’ve been aware of little things that I would have missed before. ‘Like what?’ Like seeing the sun shine off the roof of our old barn. I saw that this morning and stood there, looking at it. I found it moving. It was beautiful - it really was. I don’t usually think about if a landscape is beautiful or not, but I couldn’t control this feeling. I saw it and recognized that it was beautiful. But you know what? It made me sad. ‘Sad?’ I can hear him typing. He’s trying to do it quietly, but I can hear. ‘Why?’ I don’t know. I have no idea. ‘Because beauty is fleeting, maybe?’ No, I say. It’s the opposite. Beauty isn’t fleeting. Beauty is eternal. But . . . I’m not. I’m fleeting. That’s more the point. He’s typing stops abruptly. ‘ that’s quite profound. You do seem more self-aware and introspective them when I first arrived. It makes me think of Baudelaire: ‘ I can barely conceive of a type of beauty in which there is no melancholy’.”
“If you can repeat what you are saying to others, to yourself, there is no doubting you!”
“Our assumptions and expressive elucidations of an intermeshed external universe make up our internal world of thought. How we perceive the world in turn makes up the continued evolution of the rust resistant self. Formulation of a mutable sense of self causes us humbly to take into account our human frailty. Active awareness of our feebleness provides us an apt sense of perspective that our personal wants and woes are trifle matters. While we routinely suppress the knowledge of our ultimate fate in order to maintain the steam to power through the turbulence of each day. The constant whisper of death advancing is what drives all people to perform acts that transcend the banality of everyday living and place an artistic stamp upon their lives. An ethical person attempts to live in that sweet spot half way between the extremes of self-indulgence and self-mortification.”
“Our human self is just a wrapper, a shell to hold us in, so that we can settle our debts and learn some things that we could not learn otherwise. We shall cast aside that shell as soon as the lesson is learned. In truth, we are the essence of the divine experiencing itself. We cannot be contained, we are expansive, formless and radiant. Our human self is no more than a transient vehicle, fit for purpose. Our true self is no less than empty, joyful, eternal love.”
“When I see you –I really see me, Heart to Heart, Soul to Soul, Look inside not outside. I am you and you are me.”
“When we change our perspective, we change our perception.”
“The key to happiness is to know the truth about yourself - to understand you really are. Most people wrongly identify themselves with their feeling, thoughts, likes and dislikes. When they feel anger, they think, ‘I am angry. This is my anger.’ They consequently spend their life avoiding some kinds of feelings and pursuing others. They never realise that they are not their feelings, and that the relentless pursuit of particular feelings just traps them in misery.”
