Words Of Wisdom

And She Already Has Her Treasure: It’s You.

The Present Moment, Though, Is Outside Of Time, It’s Eternity. In India They Use The Word “karma” For Lack Of Any Better Term. But It’s A Concept That’s Rarely Given A Proper Explanation. It Isn’t What You Did In The Past That Will Affect The Present. It’s What You Do In The Present That Will Redeem The Past And Thereby Change The Future.

Remember, The First Road To God Is Prayer, The Second Is Joy.

Time Does Not Always Pass At The Same Speed. We Are The Ones Who Determine That Speed.

Love Is Not To Be Found In Someone Else, But In Ourselves; We Simply Awaken It. But In Order To Do That, We Need The Other Person. The Universe Only Makes Sense When We Have Someone To Share Our Feelings With.

Really Important Meetings Are Planned By The Souls Long Before The Bodies See Each Other. Generally Speaking, These Meetings Occur When We Reach A Limit, When We Need To Die And Be Reborn Emotionally. These Meetings Are Waiting For Us, But More Often Than Not, We Avoid Them Happening. If We Are Desperate, Though, If We Have Nothing To Lose, Or If We Are Full Of Enthusiasm For Life, Then The Unknown Reveals Itself, And Our Universe Changes Direction.

Enthusiasm For Life

Hurry Up: Your Dreams Are Waiting For You, But They Will Not Wait Forever

From The Moment That You Feel Enthusiastic About Everything, You Know That You Are Following Your Heart.

Respect Your Body: You Can Only Climb A Mountain If You Give Your Body The Attention It Deserves. You Have All The Time That Life Grants You, As Long As You Walk Without Demanding What Can't Be Granted. If You Go Too Fast You Will Grow Tired And Give Up Half Way There. If You Go Too Slow, Night Will Fall And You Will Be Lost. Enjoy The Scenery, Take Delight In The Cool Spring Water And The Fruit That Nature Generously Offers You, But Keep On Walking.

Then There Are Those Who Plant. They Endure Storms And All The Many Vicissitudes Of The Seasons, And They Rarely Rest. But, Unlike A Building, A Garden Never Stops Growing. And While It Requires The Gardener's Constant Attention, It Also Allows Life For The Gardener To Be A Great Adventure.

Millions Of Couples Out There Practiced The Art Of Sadomasochism Every Day, Without Even Realizing It. They Went To Work, Came Back, Complained About Everything, Insulted Their Wife Or Were Insulted By Her, Felt Wretched, But Were, Nonetheless, Tightly Bound To Their Own Unhappiness, Not Realizing That All It Would Take Was A Single Gesture, A Final Goodbye, To Free Them From That Oppression.

Elegance Is Achieved When All That Is Superfluous Has Been Discarded And The Human Being Discovers Simplicity And Concentration: The Simpler And More Sober The Posture, The More Beautiful It Will Be.

When You Know The Language Of Love,it's Easy To Understand That Someone In The World Awaits You.

Language Of Love

I Learned That The Search For God Is A Dark Night, That Faith Is A Dark Night. And That’s Hardly A Surprise Really, Because For Us Each Day Is A Dark Night. None Of Us Knows What Might Happen Even The Next Minute, And Yet Still We Go Forward. Because We Trust. Because We Have Faith.

Often In The Search For Your Destiny You Will Find Yourself Obliged To Change Direction

Finding Yourself

The Search Can Be As Interesting As The Fear You Feel, As Long As You Overcome That Fear.

Still, Being Fragile Creatures, Humans Always Try To Hide From Themselves The Certainty That They Will Die. They Do Not See That It Is Death Itself That Motivates Them To Do The Best Things In Their Lives. They Are Afraid To Step Into The Dark, Afraid Of The Unknown, And Their Only Way Of Conquering That Fear Is To Ignore The Fact That Their Days Are Numbered. They Do Not See That With An Awareness Of Death, They Would Be Able To Be Even More Daring, To Go Much Further In Their Daily Conquests, Because Then They Would Have Nothing To Lose- For Death Itself Is Inevitable.

Go For The Impossible. I Always Tried To Find My Own Limits. So Far I Did Not Find Them, So My Universe Is In Constant Expansion.

The Young All Have The Same Dream: To Save The World. Some Quickly Forget This Dream, Convinced That There Are More Important Things To Do, Like Having A Family, Earning Money, Traveling, And Learning A Foreign Language. Others, Though, Decide That It Really Is Possible To Make A Difference In Society And To Shape The World We Will Hand On To Future Generations.

In The First Place, You Shouldn't Believe In Promises. The World Is Full Of Them: The Promises Of Riches, Of Eternal Salvation, Of Infinite Love.

Those Who Make Promises They Don't Keep End Up Powerless And Frustrated, And Exactly The Fate Awaits Those Who Believe Promises.

Personal Legend

Many Of Us Are Returning From A Long Journey During Which We Were Forced To Search For Things That Were Of No Interest To Us. Now We Realize That They Were False. But This Return Cannot Be Made Without Pain, Because We Have Been Away For A Long Time And Feel That We Are Strangers In Out Own Land.
