You must consider that there is opposition from other human beings and also non-physical forces that don't want you to succeed.

You can think whatever you want, you can create all the labels you choose, but the universe just is. You can come to terms with it or not. If you don't come to terms with it, we say you live in illusion.

Happiness is everything in the whole universe. It's a state of mind. Your whole life is a state of mind. So be happy, why not?

Wisdom, in the world of enlightenment, is not gained through conversation. Wisdom and enlightenment is something that you gain by making the mind still.

Many people spend their life always worrying about whether they have enough to cover expenses. They experience unhappiness.
