Love is preserved by wisdom. Destroyed by demand, tested by doubt, nourished by longing. It blossoms with faith and grows with gratitude.

Want, or desire, arises when you are not happy. Have you seen this? When you are very happy then there is contentment. Contentment means no want.

If you can win over your mind, you can win over the whole world.

Being unconditionally happy is a practice: "Come what may, today I'm going to smile. Anyway, everything is going to die! Everything is going to vanish and disappear-so what! Who cares! Let me at least be happy, smile this moment, enjoy my very breath."

Every emotion is connected with the breath. If you change the breath, change the rhythm, you can change the emotion.

Love is not an emotion. It is your very existence.

Meditation means seeing God within you, and love is seeing God in the person next to you.
