Freedom and happiness are found in the flexibility and ease with which we move through change.

Health, contentment, and trust are your greatest possessions. And freedom your greatest joy.

There is a way to be purified, to overcome sorrows and grief, to release suffering, to secure the right path to realize nirvana. This is to be mindful.

(The real brahmin is the one who:) ... has crossed beyond duality ...knows no this shore, other shore, or both ...(is) settled in mind ... without inflowing thoughts ...is without attachment ...endures undisturbed criticism, ill-treatment and bonds, (and is) strong in patience ...(is) without anger, devout, upright, free from craving, disciplined and in his last body ...has experienced the end of his suffering here in this life, who has set down the burden, freed!

Through effort you will cross any raging flood, through energy you will pass any sorrow.

Do not let pleasure distract you from meditation, from the way. Free yourself from pleasure and pain.

It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles.
