reality eternal knows
You have to know the reality and the reality is that we are eternal.
meditation helping accomplish
Meditation helps you do less and accomplish more.
happiness order needs
You don't need others to change in order to be happy.
family causes wealth
Success, wealth, good health and nurturing relationships are by-products of happiness, not the cause.
asking
Who am I? is the only question worth asking and the only one never answered.
years body atoms
98% of the atoms in your body were not there a year ago.
school soul doe
I went to medical school because I wanted to ask the big questions. Do we have a soul? Does God exist? What happens after death?
jesus muhammad exalted
I like Muhammad a lot, because he's like us more than anybody else. Jesus is just so exalted, and Buddha is just so exalted, it's almost beyond our reach.
medicine body sides
We have a pharmacy inside us that is absolutely exquisite. It makes the right medicine, for the precise time, for the right target organ—with no side effects.
light darkness human-nature
Human nature is divided; it contains both darkness and light. You can choose to accept the darkness and lament it, or you can choose to expand the light until the darkness no longer dominates.
past wish mystery
You accept things as they are, not as you wish they were in this moment...The past is history, the future is a mystery, and this moment is a gift. That is why this moment is called the present.
joy
There is one experience that brings joy or happiness to every living being. The experience of love.
fighting past views
Completely desist from defending your point of view. When you have no point to defend, you do not allow the birth of an argument. If you do this consistently - if you stop fighting and resisting - you will fully experience the present, which is a gift. Someone once told me, "The past is history, the future is a mystery, and this moment is a gift. That is why this moment is called 'the present'."
storm experience encounters
When you become defensive, blame others, and do not accept and surrender to the moment, your life meets resistance. Any time you encounter resistance, recognize that if you force the situation, the resistance will only increase. You don't want to stand rigid like a tall oak that cracks and collapses in the storm. Instead, you want to be flexible, like a reed that bends with the storm and survives.
