When your home is perfect, every plant in place, every piece of furniture suits the space completely - you've completed a task.

I think that pain gives us appreciation of joy - it's a package deal. And I definitely think that the joys of life far outweigh the pain.

I have yet to see a career that is similar in benefit as computer science for doing the advanced exercises.

Even after only several weeks of practicing meditation, you will begin to have more energy and be a little bit happier. Eventually, you will experience ecstasy and knowledge beyond the power of words to describe!

The person who takes power will never be happy with those things they gain. They have lost their essential balance and innocence. And without innocence, nothing can further, as they say in the I Ching.

The world won't necessarily change but your understanding of it will, and therefore the world will change. Your attention will no longer be confined to the physical body and the physical world.

I think the very best thing you can do is observe what makes you stronger and what makes you weaker.
