Even loss and betrayal can bring us awakening.

You can only lose what you cling to.

Persevere in thy quest and thou shalt find what thou seekest. Pursue thy aim unswervingly and thou shalt gain victory. Struggle earnestly and thou shalt triumph.

Do not be thoughtless, always be mindful, watch your thoughts! Draw yourself out of the path of evil, like an elephant sunk in mud.

Thought-habits can harden into character. So watch your thoughts.

Awake. Be the witness of your thoughts. You are what observes, not what you observe.

You can search the world over and you will find no one who is more deserving of your kindness and well wishing than you yourself.
