I love,
because my love
is not dependent
on the object of love.
My love is dependent
on my state of being.
So whether
the other person changes,
becomes different,
friend turns into a foe,
does not matter,
because my love
was never dependent
on the other person.
My love
is my state of being.
I simply love.

~ Osho ~

You are not to do anything to be happy. In fact you have done too much to become unhappy. If you want to be unhappy, do too much. If you want to be happy, allow things, allow things to be. Rest, relax, and be in a let go. Let go is the secret of life. When you are in a letgo many things, millions of things, start happening. They were already happening but you were never aware.

~ Osho

The supreme Self, adored in the scriptures, Can be realized through the path of yoga. Subtler than the banyan seed, subtler Than the tiniest grain,
even subtler Than the hundred-thousandth part of a hair,
This Self cannot be grasped, cannot be seen.

Atma Upanishad

There are two ways to look at life. One is as though nothing is a miracle;
the other is as though everything is.

– Albert Einstein

Let the wise guard their thoughts, which are difficult to perceive,
which are extremely subtle, which wander at will.
Thought which is well guarded is the bearer of happiness.

– The Buddha

Him I call a Mahatman (Great Soul), whose heart bleeds for the Poor, otherwise he is a Duratman (Evil Soul).

So long as the millions live in hunger and ignorance, I hold every man a traitor who, having been educated at their expense, pays not the least heed to them.

Swami Vivekananda

You may never know what results come from your action. But if you do nothing, there will be no result.”

~ Mahatma Gandhi

Out of compassion I destroy the darkness of their ignorance.
From within them I light the lamp of wisdom and dispel all darkness from their lives.

– Bhagavad Gita

There is a benefit even in misfortune, for it is the rod With which a man can measure the loyalty of friends.”

– Tirukkural 80:796

Penance is that goodness which refrains from killing.

Perfection is that goodness which refuses to tell others’ faults.

Humility is the strength of the strong and the weapon with which the wise conquer their foes.

– Tirukkural 99:984-985

Try to treat with equal love all the people with whom you have relations.
Thus the abyss between “myself” and “yourself” will be filled in, which is the goal of all religious worship.

– Anandamayi Ma

On this path, effort never goes to waste, and there is no failure.
Even a little effort toward spiritual awareness will protect you from the greatest fear.

– Bhagavad Gita

Most of the shadows of this life are caused by our standing in our own sunshine.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson

He who has no desires has no sorrow, but where there is desire There will be ever-increasing sorrows.

When desire, sorrow’s sorrow, dies away, Undying bliss prevails even here on earth.

It is the nature of desire never to be fulfilled, but he who utterly Gives it up realizes eternal fulfillment at that very moment.

– Tirukkural 37: 368-370

There are two kinds of pranamas : Offering to Him your whole body and mind with all thoughts, desires, sense-impressions, love, affection, devotion, just like emptying the contents of a full pitcher to its last drop. The other way is like scattering face-powder through the minute holes of a powder-box : the major portion of your thoughts and desires is kept back in a hidden chamber of your mind, and only a little dust is allowed to escape.

Anandamayi Ma

Your earthly pension expires with your life, but the divine pension continues long, long after death. Those who amass money, store it up in a hidden chamber of their house, add to this store what they can save from time to time, and keep a constant watch over their treasure. So also reserve a little corner of your mind and heart for God and always steal an opportunity to add to your stock in the shape of the invocation of His name or some pious work or divine thought.
