Whatever we attempt is a reflection of our inner thirst, which we hope to quench in all these external ways. What we are looking for lies within us, and if we gave out time and energy to an interior search, we would come across it much faster, since that is the only place where it is to be found.

A truly happy person is someone who is joyfully independent of outer conditions.

Eventually we will find (mostly in retrospect, of course) that we can be very grateful to those people who have made life most difficult for us.

The heart is always the place to go. Go home into your heart, where there is warmth, appreciation, gratitude and contentment

Mindfulness is a mental activity that in due course eliminates all suffering.

If we want to be loved, we are looking for a support system. If we want to love, we are looking for spiritual growth.

If the whole universe can be found in our own body and mind, this is where we need to make our inquires. We all have the answers within ourselves, we just have not got in touch with them yet. The potential of finding the truth within requires faith in ourselves.
