The unexpected and unpredictable is real.

The first steps in self-acceptance are not at all pleasant, for what one sees is not a happy sight. One needs all the courage to go further.

The world does not yield to changing. By its very nature it is painful and transient. See it as it is and divest yourself of all desire and fear. When the world does not hold and bind you, it becomes an abode of joy and beauty. You can be happy in the world only when you are free of it.

In reality there are no others, and -helping yourself you help everybody else.

There is only life, there is nobody who lives a life.

You know that you are. Don't burden yourself with names, just be. Any name or shape you give yourself obscures your real nature.

All your desires, whatever they may be, are expressions of your longing for happiness. Basically, you wish yourself well.
