Your unhappiness ultimately arises not from the circumstances of your life but from the conditioning of your mind.

For what you do to others, you do to yourself.

Dogmas are collective conceptual prisons. And the strange thing is that people love their prison cells because they give them a sense of security and a false sense of 'I know.' Nothing has inflicted more suffering on humanity than its dogmas.

Your car breaks down in the middle of the night. It's raining. It's cold. And you have to change the tire of your car. You cannot really enjoy that it is cold and wet, but you can bring acceptance to it. Peace flows into it.

Stress is caused by being 'here' but wanting to be 'there'.

The mind is a superb instrument if used rightly. Used wrongly, however, it becomes very destructive. To put it more accurately... you usually don't use it at all. It uses you.

...the past gives you an identity and the future holds the promise of salvation, of fulfillment in whaterver form. Both are illusions.
