If you develop a pure and sincere motivation, if you are motivated by a wish to help on the basis of kindness, compassion, and respect, then you can carry on any kind of work, in any field, and function more effectively.

Indulgence in resentment and vengeance will only further increase miseries to oneself and others in this life and in lives to come.

Happiness is a state of mind. With physical comforts if your mind is still in a state of confusion and agitation, it is not happiness. Happiness means calmness of mind.

Suffering increases your inner strength. Also, the wishing for suffering makes the suffering disappear.

The nature of our motivation determines the character of our work.
