The world is afflicted by death and decay. But the wise do not grieve, having realized the nature of the world.
When you like a flower, you just pluck it. But when you love a flower, you water it daily.
Our life is a creation of our mind.
The end of desire is the end of sorrow.
The more fully we give our energy, the more it returns to us.
If there is no other world and there is no fruit and ripening of actions well done or ill done, then here and now in this life I shall be free from hostility, affliction, and anxiety, and I shall live happily.
