No one knows how this world came into being. It is a creation of consciousness itself. It's extraordinary, a mystery.
How did we get into this funny-looking body that has a hole at one end in which we regularly stuff dead plants and animals? It's bizarre that we got here, incarnated into this world with these bodies.
Yes, there are troubles in the world. There's war and hatred, there's sickness and difficulty. And there is also an undying spirit, an inviolable consciousness that is born in each of us. It is who we are, and it's everything and it's nothing.
In this world there are two great sources of strength. One rests with those who are not afraid to kill. The other rests with those who are not afraid to love.
Every individual in the world has a unique contribution.
In this there is no judgment and no blame, for we seek not to perfect the world but to perfect our love for what is on this earth.
Tending to ourselves, we tend the world. Tending the world, we tend ourselves.
Only in the reality of the present can we love, can we awaken, can we find peace and understanding and connection with ourselves and the world.
Every facet, every department of your mind, is to be programmed by you. And unless you assume your rightful responsibility, and begin to program your own mind, the world will program it for you.
The work of your heart, the work of taking time, to listen, to help, is also your gift to the whole of the world
Live in joy, luminosity, and peace even among the troubles of the world. Remember who you are.
Meet this transient world with neither grasping nor fear, trust the unfolding of life, and you will attain true serenity.
When we get too caught up in the busyness of the world, we lose connection with one another - and ourselves.
