Now will never leave. It is always here. Like a clear canvas, it awaits our painting.

Give up the drop and gain the whole ocean.

We can be serene even in the midst of calamities and, by our serenity, make others more tranquil.

The cause of bandha and moksha (bondage and liberation) is our own minds. If we think we are bound, we are bound. If we think we are liberated, we are liberated. . . . It is only when we transcend the mind that we are free from all these troubles. (117)

Mere philosophy will not satisfy us. We cannot reach the goal by mere words alone. Without practice, nothing can be achieved. (3)

Do you want to know the secret of life? If you want to have everything, don’t want anything. Everything will run after you.

Never give up; nothing is done overnight. Anyone who achieved anything in life always did it after many failures. Don’t give up hope.
