Our animal friends’ non-reactive and forgiving natures can teach us positive spiritual lessons on a daily basis.

You need no time to open yourself to the power of now and so awaken to who you are beyond name and form and realize that in the depth of your being, you are already complete, whole, one with the timeless essence of all life.

Some people awaken spiritually without ever coming into contact with any meditation technique or any spiritual teaching. They may awaken simply because they can't stand the suffering anymore.

Forgive yourself for not being at peace.

Transcending the world does not mean to withdraw from the world, to no longer take action, or to stop interacting with people. Transcendence of the world is to act and to interact without any self-seeking.

When you complain, you make yourself a victim. Leave the situation, change the situation or accept it, all else is madness.

If you can get the inside right, the outside will fall into place.
