Unkind people spread malicious tales, and well-intentioned people also censure; but in either case the tranquil sage remains unconcerned. Nowhere is there to be found a disconcerted sage.

Happiness or sorrow- whatever befalls you, walk on untouched, unattached.

I knew that most people never see this reality because they attach to the material aspect of the world. Illusions of self and other fill their vision. I also realized there are those with little dust limiting their vision.

They who imagine truth in untruth and see untruth in truth will never arrive at the truth.

Though thousand times a thousand in battle one may conquer, yet should one conquer just oneself, one is the greatest conqueror.

Let your love flow outward through the universe, To its height, its depth, its broad extent, A limitless love, without hatred or enmity. Then as you stand or walk, Sit or lie down, As long as you are awake, Strive for this with a one-pointed mind; Your life will bring heaven to earth.
