My Wealth

 

My greatest wealth is the deep stillness in which I strive and grow and win what the world cannot take from me with fire or sword.

Goethe

 

Dignity of Daring

 

Only to the extent that person exposes his or her self over and over again to annihilation, can that which is indestructible arise within themselves. In this lies
the dignity of daring.

KARLFRIED GRAF VON DURKHEIM from "The Way of Transformation"

 

Here and now

 

If you are not happy here and now, you never will be.

Taishen Deshimaru

 

Art of Peace

 

One does not need buildings, money, power, or status to practice the Art of Peace. Heaven is right where you are standing, and that is the place to train.

Morihei Ueshiba

 

Looking for Truth

 

If you look for the truth outside yourself, it gets farther and farther away.
Today, walking alone, I meet him everywhere I step.
He is the same as me, yet I am not him.
Only if you understand it in this way will you merge with the way things are.

Tung-shan

 

Go with the Flow

 

Do not struggle.
Go with the flow of things,
And you will find yourself at one with
The mysterious unity of the Universe.

Chuang Tzu

 

Inner peace

 

You can become a night watchman and live happily. It is what you are inwardly that matters. Your inner peace and joy you have to earn. It is much more difficult than earning money. No university can teach you to be yourself.

Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

 

Destiny

 

Having realized that you cannot influence the results, pay no attention to your desire and fears. Let them come and go. Don't give them the nourishment of interest and attention.

Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

 

Others

 

In reality there are no others, and by helping yourself you help everybody else.

Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
