Study carefully the law of cause and effect.

Men have the illusion of having a duty to make the world spin properly, which is precisely what makes it wobble.

All we have to do is to receive what we are given...We are given the naturalness to love someone, to be calm in crisis, to ignore self-defeating suggestions, to be pleasant, forgiving, tender, helpful, unworried, brave, energetic.

Mysticism is not this or that particular cup on the table; it is the water poured into all of them.

A chief cause of unhappiness is what I call mental movies. Mental movies are a misuse of the imagination. You know how it goes. You have a painful experience with someone, then run it over and over in your mind. You visualize what you said, what he did, how you both felt. As awful as it is, you feel compelled to repeat the film day and night. It is as if you were locked inside a theatre playing a horrible movie.

When you are genuinely strong, you neither attack nor defend and so retain your energy.

Genuine effort is success.
