Surrendered to Life
“Just watching an animal closely can take you out of your mind and
bring you into the present moment, which is where the animal lives all the time – surrendered to life.”
Taking the first footstep
“Taking the first footstep with a good thought, the second with a good word, and the third with a good deed, I entered paradise.”
What brings Understanding is Love
“What brings understanding is love. When your heart is full, then you will listen to the teacher, to the beggar, to the laughter of children, to the rainbow, and to the sorrow of man. Under every stone and leaf, that which is eternal exists. But we do not know how to look for it. Our minds and hearts are filled with other things than understanding of ‘what is’. Love and mercy, kindness and generosity do not cause enmity. When you love, you are very near truth. For, love makes for sensitivity, for vulnerability. That which is sensitive is capable of renewal. Then truth will come into being. It cannot come if your mind and heart are burdened, heavy with ignorance and animosity.”
Judge others by yourself
“Judge others by yourself and you will rarely be mistaken.”
You are the Universe
“You are the universe, expressing itself as a human for a little while.”
