To those who have conquered themselves, the will is a friend. But it is the enemy of those who have not found the Self within them.

" If you don't get what you want, you suffer; if you get what you don't want, you suffer; even when you get exactly what you want, you still suffer because you can't hold on to it forever. Your mind is your predicament. It wants to be free of change. Free of pain, free of the obligations of life and death. But change is law and no amount of pretending will alter that reality."

In India we have many names for the Lord and for the Divine Mother that remind us of his patience, her forgiveness. One such name is “He who bears with us and forgives us our mistakes.”

This name encourages us, too, to be patient and bear up cheerfully when life hands us something that we would rather not have to deal with. To judge by our responses to life’s ordinary ups and downs, most of us say, “Give me only things I like. Don’t give me anything I dislike; give it to Brian instead.”

Even good people, when they have been struck down by illness or misfortune, sometimes ask, “Why did this happen to me?” This is a most peculiar question. What we should ask is, “Why should this happen to anybody?” Simply asking this question at a deeper level of awareness brings the patience to bear tragedies, releasing the insight and compassion to help others and to grow ourselves.

Pleasant and unpleasant together are the very texture of life. Only when we give our best, whatever comes – good or bad – can we live in freedom.
– Eknath Easwaran

“Hope is like a road in the country; there was never a road, but when many people walk on it, the road comes into existence.”
― Lin Yutang




“This I conceive to be the chemical function of humor: to change the character of our thought.”

might be my favorite thing in the thread.


understand I often go over the things I post on the internet and go over it all again and again. I get more out of it each time. it's all to help myself before anybody else. I would hope that others can get something from it too, but it's for myself as well.
