Freed by full realization and at peace, the mind of such a man is at peace, and his speech and action peaceful. He has no need for faith who knows the uncreated, who has cut off rebirth, who has destroyed any opportunity for good or evil, and cast away all desire. He is indeed the ultimate man.

It is our own thoughts that lead us into trouble, not other people.

The kingdom of heaven is closer than the brow above the eye but mankind does not see it.

If you don't see God in the next person you meet, look no further.

We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.

Maintain a state of balance between physical acts and inner serenity,like a lute whose strings are finely tuned.

Our mind is full of anger, jealousy and other negative feelings. Yet we do not realize that these are incompatible with inner peace and joy.
