Being happy is a great science. If you are not happy, do not be confused. Happiness is hard to achieve.

Death can be understood as the passage from one form to another, from a limited degree of life to another higher, freer one. It is wrong to assume that everything ends with death; what ends is only the temporary conditions in which people have lived on earth.

What sort of love is permeated by jealousy? You are jealous because you are unaware that everything you need is inside you.

Yours is only what you always have on you.
