By your own efforts waken yourself, watch yourself. And live joyfully.

It is the fool who is haunted by fears, dread of dangers, oppression of mind, not the wise man.

War ends only when people love each other.

The one who wanders independent in the world, free from opinions and viewpoints, does not grasp them and enter into disputations and arguments. As the lotus rises on its stalk unsoiled by the mud and the water, so the wise one speaks of peace and is unstained by the opinions of the world.

There is no more self-contradictory concept than that of idle thoughts. What gives rise to the perception of a whole world can hardly be called idle. Every thought we have either contributes to truth or to illusion.

If you let cloudy water settle, it will become clear. If you let your upset mind settle, your course will also become clear.

Our life is shaped by our mind; we become what we think.
