The Eye Cannot See It; The Mind

To Be Secure Everywhere Is The Mark Of Sophistication, To Be Unshakable Is The Mark Of Courage, To Be Permanently In Love With Every Person Is The Mark Of Masculinity Or Femininity, To Forgive Is The Mark Of Strength, To Govern Our Senses And Passions Is The Mark Of Freedom.

To Enjoy Anything, We Cannot Be Attached To It... What We Usually Try To Do Is Capture Any Joy That Comes Our Way Before It Can Escape... We Try To Cling To Pleasure, But All We Succeed In Doing Is Making Ourselves Frustrated Because, Whatever It Promises, Pleasure Simply Cannot Last. But If I Am Willing To Kiss The Joy As It Flies, I Say, "yes, This Moment Is Beautiful. I Won't Grab It. I'll Let It Go."

In Memorizing The Prayer, It May Be Helpful To Remind Yourself That You Are Not Addressing Some Extraterrestrial Being Outside You. The Kingdom Of Heaven Is Within Us, And The Lord Is Enshrined In The Depths Of Our Own Consciousness. In This Prayer We Are Calling Deep Into Ourselves, Appealing To The Spark Of The Divine That Is Our Real Nature.

Excitement And Depression, Fortune And Misfortune, Pleasure And Pain Are Storms In A Tiny Private, Shell-bound Realm - Which We Take To Be The Whole Of Existence. Yet We Can Break Out Of This Shell And Enter A New World.

There Are Three Kinds Of Violence: One, Through Our Deeds; Two, Through Our Words; And Three, Through Our Thoughts. …the Root Of All Violence Is In The World Of Thoughts, And That Is Why Training The Mind Is So Important.
