Envy and jealousy stem from the fundamental inability to rejoice at someone else's happiness or success

We have known about the placebo effect for many years. This is a remarkable effect - placebo can cure 30 percent in many cases.

The basic root of happiness lies in our minds; outer circumstances are nothing more than adverse or favourable.

At each point in our lives, we are at a crossroads. We are the fruit of our past and we are the architects of our future... If you want to know your past, look at your present circumstances. If you want to know your future, look at what is in your mind.

True freedom means freeing oneself from the dictates of the ego and its accompanying emotions.

The goal of meditation is precisely to make your mind smooth and manageable so that it can be concentrated or relaxed at will; and especially to free it from the tyranny of mental afflictions and confusion

Just be free, and at least you will go through adversity with a stronger mind, and therefore, you'll be less affected, and pain will affect you less.
