Just as a candle cannot burn without fire,

men cannot live without a spiritual life. 

Your worst enemy cannot harm you

as much as your own unguarded thoughts.

If your compassion does not include yourself

it is incomplete

If anything is worth doing

                                do it with all your heart.

However many holy words you read

however many you speak, what good will they do you if you do not act on upon them?

Do not learn how to react

                                    Learn how to respond.

If your compassion does not include yourself

 

it is incomplete.

Until he has unconditional and unbiased love for all beings

man will not find peace.

Happiness does not depend on what you have or who you are

it solely relies on what you think.

Endurance

is one of the most difficult disciplines, but it is to the one who endures that the final victory comes.

You will not be punished for your anger

You will be punished by your anger.

Every experience, no matter how bad it seems

holds within it a blessing of some kind.
The goal is to find it.

In the end

only three things matter: how much you loved, how gently you lived, and how gracefully you let go of things not meant for you.

the wise

Just as a solid rock is not shaken by the storm,
 even so the wise are  by praise or blame.

improve your concentration & strengthen focus because that's what it's all about

Meditation brings wisdom; lack of meditation leaves ignorance. Know well what leads you forward and what hold you back, and choose the path that leads to wisdom.

start the inner journey

When the student is ready, the teacher will appear.

Doubt

There is nothing more dreadful than the habit of doubt. Doubt separates people. It is a poison that disintegrates friendships and breaks up pleasant relations. It is a thorn that irritates and hurts; it is a sword that kills.
