Teachers open the door, but you must enter by yourself.

Smile, breathe, and go slowly.

Awake, my dear. / Be kind to your sleeping heart. / Take it out into the vast fields of light / And let it breathe.

There is no greater suffering than that caused by a covetous mind.

All is changeable, nothing is constant.

The most precious gift we can offer others is our presence. When mindfulness embraces those we love, they will bloom like flowers. 

The way is circular, peaceful, wides as the vast cosmos, perfect.

It is not power that corrupts, but fear.

Wisdom is in yourself, just like a sweet ripe mango is already in a young green one.

If not today—when?

Life has a certain pace. You should be joyfully in a hurry but never impatient.

Breathing is the bridge between body and mind. 

Complaining is finding faults, wisdom is finding solutions.

Love manifests where there is an empty vessel. Love abides where it is welcome.

Your preciousness lies in your essence; it cannot be lost by anything that happens.

In oneself lies the whole world and if you know how to look and learn, then the door is there and the key is in your hand.

Always see what best you can do for everyone around you. It is this sense of offering that will make you shine.

One should not be attached to more than the necessities of life required for spiritual advancement.

You can’t buy an inch of time with an inch of gold.

The goal can never be reached unless a man makes his mind strong and firmly resolves that he must realize God in this very birth, nay, in this very moment.

You may visualize God in whatever aspect rouses one’s devotion and keeps his mind inwardly attended to the Divine.

The entire cosmos is our own body. Life and death are merely the coming and going of the real human body.

The form of worship does not matter to me; my only concern is the quality of love which is expressed in worship. I accept every kind of worship, because I am supreme.

Therefore, say not a word against any man’s convictions, so far as they are sincere.

The sum total of the experience of the sages of the world is available to us and would be for all time to come.

Hope is not a prediction of the future, it’s a declaration of what’s possible.

Silence gives answers.

Be vigilant; guard your mind against negative thoughts.

The world is your best teacher. There is a lesson in everything.

Never forget benefits don you, regardless how small.
