Take away human beings from this planet and life would go on, nature would go on in all its loveliness and violence. Where would the problem be? No problem. You created the problem. You are the problem. You identified with "me" and that is the problem. The feeling is in you, not in reality.
Anthony de Mello"My former master taught me to accept birth and death." "Then what have you come to me for?" asked the master. "To learn to accept what lies in between."
Anthony de MelloSin is a refusal to grow, a refusal to love, a refusal to get committed, to be concerned, and to take risks.
Anthony de MelloIf I haven't received any grace today, then I was not at home. This is because God is sending deliveries constantly.
Anthony de MelloNo person on earth has the power to make you unhappy. There is no event on earth that has the power to disturb you or hurt you. No event, condition, situation, or person. Nobody told you this; they told you the opposite. That's why you're in the mess you're in right now. That is why you're asleep. They never told you this. But it's self-evident.
Anthony de Mello
