We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.
If you eat with love that is good; what you just gulp down like anything, that will kill you.
Be more humble than a blade of grass, more tolerant than a tree, always offering respect onto others and never expecting any in return.
At any time, in any form and accepted name, if one is shorn of all attachment, that one is you alone. My Lord! You are one although variously appearing.
People will ask me: Don’t you believe in God? No, I don’t. I believe in two things above all: Nature and Love. Nature is all-powerful. Love is how I understand the good. It might have been nice to believe in God, often defined as all-powerful and good, but combining the two like that has always posed too much of a contradiction for my poor mind to believe in.
