Thoughts On Hinduism: 

The really poor man is not the one who lacks money, but he who lacks the joy of the heart. ~ Swami Tapovan Maharaj

We have the ability to create sorrow for ourselves, so it means we also have the ability to create joy in our lives. ~ Dalai Lama

Satyam bruyat priyam bruyat. Na bruyat satyam apriyam. Priyam cha nanrutham bruyat. Esha dharmah sanatanah. ~ Say the truth that is pleasant. Don’t say the truth if it is unpleasant. Also, never say any untruth even if it’s pleasant. This is the eternal dharma.

Thirty spokes converge upon a single hub;
It is on the hole in the center that the use of the cart hinges.
We make a vessel from a lump of clay;
It is the empty space within the vessel that makes it useful.
We make doors and windows for a room;
But it is these empty spaces that make the room livable.
Thus, while the tangible has advantages,
It is the intangible that makes it useful.
~ Lao Tzu

All the powers in the universe are already ours. It is we who have put our hands before our eyes and cry that it is dark. ~ Swami Vivekananda

One that starts the day we’re born, and the other starts the day we realize we have only one life. ~ Confucious

To observe without evaluating is the highest form of intelligence. ~ Jiddu Krishnamurti

That state of simplest form of awareness alone, is worthy of seeing, hearing, contemplating and realizing. ~ The Upanishads

Knowing others is intelligence
Knowing yourself is true wisdom
Mastering others is strength
Mastering yourself is true power. ~ Lao Tzu

Tradition becomes our security, and when the mind is secure it is in decay. ~ Jiddu Krishnamurti

Only to the extent that we expose ourselves over and over to annihilation can that which is indestructible in us be found. ~ Pema Chödrön

What is the best way to spend 1 hour: take a nap:
What is the best way to spend 1 day: go for a hike
What is the best way to spend 1 month: vacation, honeymoon: sharing the journey
What is the best way to spend 1 year: inherit a fortune
What is the best way to spend lifetime: help others, know thyself.
~ Chinese proverb

You can see and hear with your eyes and ears, but you can’t experience anything without the presence of mind. ~ Swami Vivekananda

Water the roots, not fruits. ~ Sant Kabir

We have, in my view, created a society in which people find it harder and harder to show one another basic affection. In place of the sense of community and belonging, which we find such a reassuring feature of less wealthy (and generally rural) societies, we find a high degree of loneliness and alienation. Despite the fact that millions live in close proximity to one another, it seems that many people, especially among the old, have no one to talk to but their pets. Modern industrial society often strikes me as being like a huge self-propelled machine. Instead of human beings in charge, each individual is a tiny, insignificant component with no choice but to move when the machine moves. ~ The Dalai Lama, Ethics For The Millennium

When I let go of what I am I become what I might be. ~ Lao Tzu

Carry a portable paradise with you at all times. ~ Paramahamsa Yogananda

Yoga – The Union Of The Mind And Body

The Brahman forms everything that is living or non-living. The wise man knows that all beings are identical with his self, and his self is the self of all beings. ~ Isha Upanishad

The wise neither grieve for the dead nor for the living. I myself never was not, nor thus, nor all the princes of the earth; nor shall we ever hereafter cease to be. ~ Bhagavad Gita
