Your enemy is still yourself. You don't have enemies. They may be self-styled. I have plenty of self-styled enemies. I don't wish them harm.

That's what life is for, to find that joy in yourself.

Leadership is an opportunity to serve. It is not a trumpet call to self- importance.

Sociologically, I think it is the most important thing going on in the world today. Because you can't change people by force. Communism made a great mistake in trying to inflict its beliefs on everybody. People have to find their own understanding, and if you can offer them an example that will inspire, they will come naturally to it. Ananda tries to offer this inspiring example.

Live more quietly. Live more seeking God's presence in your own heart.

The two-fold goal of all human striving is the avoidance of pain, and the fulfillment of happiness.

If it (the good circumstances) changes will you be able to keep onto your happiness just as much? Because if not then your happiness is really built on sand.
