Those who have little interest in spirituality shouldn’t think that human inner values don’t apply to you. The inner peace of an alert and calm mind are the source of real happiness and good health. Our human intelligence tells us which of our emotions are positive and helpful and which are damaging and to be restrained or avoided.

pain is inevitable,suffering is optional... we have bigger houses,but smaller families. More conveniences,but less time. We have knowledge,but less judgements; more experts,but more problems ; more medicines but less health.

The most important benefit of patience consists in the way it acts as a powerful antidote to the affliction of anger.

Love and Compassion are the true religions to me. But to develop this, we do not need to believe in any religion.

Cultivating a close, warmhearted feeling for others automatically puts the mind at ease.

The enemy is the necessary condition for practicing patience.

It is important not to allow ourselves to be put off by the magnitude of others' suffering. The misery of millions is not a cause for pity. Rather it is a cause for compassion.
