  • If we try to change without first accepting who we are, we risk creating more false images of ourselves. But if accept ourselves for who we are at this very moment, we change because we want to grow and evolve with life. Love is no longer the condition for change, it is the starting point for change. This is the true meaning of unconditional love.

    Speaker: Miguel Ruiz Jr.

  • You have the right to work, but for the work’s sake only. You have no right to the fruits of work. Desire for the fruits of work must never be your motive in working. Never give way to laziness, either.
    Perform every action with your heart fixed on the Supreme Lord. Renounce attachment to the fruits. Be even-tempered in success and failure; for it is this evenness of temper which is meant by yoga.
    Work done with anxiety about results is far inferior to work done without such anxiety, in the calm of self-surrender. Seek refuge in the knowledge of Brahman. They who work selfishly for results are miserable.

    Speaker: Bhagavad Gita

  • One thing life has taught me: if you are interested, you never have to look for new interests. They come to you. When you are genuinely interested in one thing, it will always lead to something else.

  • The tree that never had to fight
    For sun and sky and air and light,
    But stood out in the open plain
    And always got its share of rain,
    Never became a forest king
    But lived and died a scrubby thing…
    Good timber does not grow with ease,
    The stronger wind, the stronger trees.

  • There is a prospect greater than the sea, and it is the sky; there is a prospect greater than the sky, and it is the human soul.
    To make a poem of the human conscience, even in terms of a single man and the least of men, would be to merge all epics in a single epic transcending all… To peer at certain moments into the withdrawn face of a human being in the act of reflection, to see something of what lies behind their outward silence, is to discern struggle on a Homeric scale, conflicts of dragons and hydras, aerial hosts as in Milton, towering vistas as in Dante. The infinite space that each man carries within himself, wherein despairingly he contrasts the movements of his spirit with the acts of his life, is an overpowering thing.
