  • Deepak Chopra
    "According to Vedanta, there are only two symptoms of enlightenment, just two indications that a transformation is taking place within you toward a higher consciousness. The first symptom is that you stop worrying. Things don't bother you anymore. You become light-hearted and full of joy. The second symptom is that you encounter more and more meaningful coincidences in your life, more and more synchronicities. And this accelerates to the point where you actually experience the miraculous. (quoted by Carol Lynn Pearson in Consider the Butterfly)"

    Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it."

    And let it spring from love
    Born out of concern for all beings...

    As the shadow follows the body, as we think, so we become."

    " Through countless births in the cycle of existence
    I have run, not finding
    although seeking the builder of this house;
    and again and again I faced the suffering of new birth.
    Oh housebuilder! Now you are seen.

    You shall not build a house again for me.
    All your beams are broken,
    the ridgepole is shattered.
    The mind has become freed from conditioning:
    the end of craving has been reached."
    Siddhārtha Gautama (The Dhammapada)


  • "People get into a heavy-duty sin and guilt trip, feeling that if things are going wrong, that means that they did something bad and they are being punished. That's not the idea at all. The idea of karma is that you continually get the teachings that you need to open your heart. To the degree that you didn't understand in the past how to stop protecting your soft spot, how to stop armoring your heart, you're given this gift of teachings in the form of your life, to give you everything you need to open further."
    Pema Chödrön

  • Albert Einstein
    "A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."
    Albert Einstein

  • Dalai Lama XIV
    "The Dalai Lama's Instructions for life:

    Take into account that great love and great achievements involve great risk.

    When you lose, don't lose the lesson.

    Follow the three R's:
    - Respect for self.
    - Respect for others.
    - Responsibility for all your actions.

    Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.

    Learn the rules so you know how to break them properly.

    Don't let a little dispute injure a great relationship.

    When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.

    Spend some time alone everyday.

    Open your arms to change, but don't let go of your values.

    Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.

    Live a good, honorable life. Then when you get older and think back, you'll be able to enjoy it a second time.

    A loving atmosphere in your home is the foundation for your life.

    In disagreements with loved ones, deal only with the current situation. Don't bring up the past.

    Share your knowledge. It is a way to achieve immortality.

    Be gentle with the earth.

    Once a year, go someplace you've never been before.

    Remember that the best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other.

    Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it.

    Approach love and cooking with reckless abandon."

Always be on the lookout for ways to nurture your dream."
    Laozi
