Some Reflections ...
To know yourself as the being underneath the thinker,
The stillness underneath the mental noise,
The love and joy underneath the pain,
is freedom, salvation and enlightenment.
Eckhart Tolle
This being human is a guest house.
Every morning is a new arrival.
A joy, a depression, a meanness,
some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor.
Welcome and entertain them all.
Treat each guest honourably.
The dark thought, the shame, the malice,
meet them at the door laughing, and invite them in.
Be grateful for whoever comes,
because each has been sent as a guide from beyond.
Rumi
Yoga is not an ancient myth buried in oblivion.
It is the most valuable inheritence of the present.
It is the essential need of today and the culture of tomorrow.
Swami Satyananda
Believe in yourself. Know that you have the strength, the ability, the courage and the will to transform yourself. The best way to reach this point is through silence, not through logic or intellect, or questions or discussion. So many books have been written, yet people still continue to ask questions. The answers have been given in the scriptures and by different masters and saints, yet still we ask for the reasons, the why, when and how. We ask the same questions over and over again, even though we have been given the answers.
Learn in silence about the mysteries of life by understanding and believing that you have the strength, the courage and the ability. You can definitely make a barren piece of ground into a flowering garden. The method you can choose yourself .....
The attitude of faith is the stairway to heaven. So never be a fatalist. Always have faith in yourself.
Swami Niranjananda
Forget like a child any injury done by somebody immediately.
Never keep it in the heart.
It kindles hatred.
Swami Sivananda
Live quietly in the moment and see the beauty of all before you.
The future will take care of itself.
Paramahamsa Yogananda
Our prime purpose in this life is to help others.
And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them.
The Dalai Lama
An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind.
Mahatma Gandhi
He who knows his soul knows this truth:
"I am beyond everything finite, I now see that the Spirit,
alone in a space with its ever new joy,
has expressed itself as the vast body of nature.
I am the stars,
I am the waves,
I am the life of all,
I am the laughter within all hearts,
I am the smile on the faces of the flowers and in each soul.
I am the wisdom and the power that sustain all creation.
Paramahamsa Yogananda
The Sad Game
Blame
Keeps the sad game going.
It keeps stealing all your wealth -
Giving it to an imbecile with
No financial skills.

Be at least as interested in what goes on inside you as what happens outside.
If you get the inside right, the outside will fall into place.
Eckhart Tolle
Man talks of a battle with nature, forgetting that if he won the battle, he would find himself on the losing side.
