In order to deserve, we must pay our dues and steadily work for perfection. We must relish in struggle, and relinquish pride. We must dispel fear and seek enlightenment. We must shun division and honor love. We must know our hearts and seek to understand others. We must try, live, create, feel, grow and love.
We are all students of the world; frail embodied consciousnesses struggling to understand, and be a meaningful part of this great, mysterious gift of life.
The struggle to excavate your true, authentic self from beneath the mountain of conditioning and ridiculous expectation is the epic struggle of your lifetime.
Your struggle is your strength. If you can resist becoming negative, bitter or hopeless, in time, your struggles will give you everything.
Through spiritual maturity you will see new ways to avoid unnecessary suffering; wiser ways to endure unavoidable hardships with grace, and opportunities to turn your pain into lessons of service and healing for others. Your hard journey has had a great purpose! Your pain was always a part of a plan to open your heart to love. Have faith. A miracle is happening in your life; the miracle of pain is transforming you to your highest self.
The feeling of being 'offended' is a warning indicator that is showing you where to look within yourself for unresolved issues.
Through meditation and gentle cooperation, the body will heal itself with little or no effort.
I was advocating for world peace, but I was waging a violent war against my own body. I was speaking about poverty and starvation, but I was eating more than my fair share. I was a hypocrite.
My self-esteem had been crushed through years of childhood bullying and serious abuses, which would take me decades to overcome.
The realities of the world seldom measure up to the sublime designs of human imagination.
Do not let your ambitions become a sanctuary for your failures.
One column of truth cannot hold an institution of ideas from falling into ignorance. It is wiser that a person of prudence and purpose save his strength for battles that can be won.
One person really can make a difference. Each person is the revolution.
Every symbol, word, concept, discipline and field is only a temporary rest stop on the highway of discovery.
