If I really want inner peace in my life, then I must not busy myself with what other people do and say.

God is not a thing to be achieved, but a thing to be.

What comes to me unmistakably is what I carefully or carelessly invite.

Fear is bound to disappear when you realize that failure is not something shameful, damaging, destructive, or painful, but something natural.

When your heart's gratitude comes to the fore, when you become all gratitude, this gratitude is like a flow, a flow of consciousness. When your consciousness is flowing, feel that this gratitude-flow is like a river that is watering the root of the tree and the tree itself. It is always through gratitude that your consciousness-river will grow and water the perfection-tree inside you.

I do not compete with anybody else; I compete only with myself. You saw my capacity a few minutes ago. Now I am competing with myself. When I do weightlifting, my body is my world. If I can improve myself, if I can go beyond my previous achievements, then that is my goal. My own previous record is always what I am competing with.

When we pray and meditate sincerely and soulfully, we receive an open-hearted invitation from heaven.
