Happiness is self-generated as the mind becomes still. As we become involved with the desires of the world, we lose that centering, that stillness.

Self-acceptance is involved in this process. You have got to be able to look at both your dark and your light side and not get enamored or depressed by either.

As you gain more discipline over your body, you will find that a corollary discipline will develop in the mind because the two really go together.

I was attracted to poetry, which is perhaps the purest of the art forms, where love is the medium of exchange and the nobility of love is considered. It's a land of higher ideals.

You have to refine your being. You have to go through all of the stages and steps of erasing yourself through service to others with purity, humility, integrity.

Most people are operating out of repetition. If you come to work or school each day with the same mind-state, you probably can't get more out of it than you did yesterday.

You must control your anger and jealousy and possessive nature or, as you become more powerful and your will increases in strength, you will injure others.
