So do not be concerned with the fruit of your action-just give attention to the action itself. The fruit will come of its own accord.

I never went out and said, "I want to do this." I never do that. I wait for things to come to me, either within or without, and I go along with it.

Pain is inevitable as long as you are identified with your mind.

Whatever you think people are withholding from you-praise, appreciation, assistance, loving care, and so on-give it to them.

Above all, the only thing you have to heal is the present thought. Get that right and the whole picture will change into one of harmony and joy.

As soon as you honor the present moment, all unhappiness and struggle dissolve.

Many people see themselves as a problem that needs to be solved. They also habitually see the present moment as an obstacle that they need to overcome or get away from. With awareness, an inner sense of spaciousness arises that enables you to look at your own mind, which is to say the human mind, with a certain degree of detachment.
