If one speaks or acts with pure mind, because of that happiness follows one, even as one’s shadow that never leaves.
The mind exists in a state of “not enough” and so is always greedy for more. When you are identified with mind, you get bored and restless very easily. Boredom means the mind is hungry for more stimulus…it is not satisfied.
If we are mindful of the true nature of reality, then we never truly lose anyone - even to death.
To understand the immeasurable, the mind must be extraordinarily quiet, still.
Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.
The worthy person is grateful and mindful of benefits done to him. This gratitude, this mindfulness, is congenial to the best people.
Breathing in, I calm body and mind. Breathing out, I smile, dwelling in the present moment, I know this is the only moment.
