What is it that dies? A log of wood dies to become a few planks. The planks die to become a chair. The chair dies to become a piece of firewood, and the firewood dies to become ash. You give different names to the different shapes the wood takes, but the basic substance is there always. If we could always remember this, we would never worry about the loss of anything. We never lose anything; we never gain anything. By such discrimination we put an end to unhappiness. (118-119)
Swami SatchidanandaPeace comes not from doing, but from undoing; not from getting, but from letting go.
Swami SatchidanandaEverything begins in the mind. If you want to see clearly, you need clear vision.
Swami SatchidanandaYou are not given the light by anyone—not even by a spiritual teacher. You are that light.
