Rest does not come with sleeping, it comes with waking. This is both an insight and an action of enlightenment. When we are enlightened we realise that real rest is possible only when we become free of illusion and we no longer struggle against life. Illusion is the idea that people should be, and do, what we want them to. The truth is, all is as it should be, despite appearances, or our perceptions of others to the contrary. This means you can be easy on yourself, easy with others and easy with the world around you. Easiness is a virtue, an attractive one at that. It is much more influential than force. So quit forcing, end the struggling and…relax!

The wealth of a rich man can be stolen or burnt, but the happiness and wisdom of the wise remain.

The thoughts you create and the actions you do have to be the same. Create good thoughts and bring them into action. Your actions will then be successful.

It is said: There is no nourishment like happiness and no illness like worry. Constantly eat the nourishment of happiness.

Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the future.

In the silence of my being, in the stillness of peace, I ponder the greatness of my existence, and the truly endless love and power I have within me.

Silence has to be love-filled. Love actually inspires and moves all things towards their original freedom and happiness.

The fewer desires you have, the happier you will be. Having the right information (truth) leads to contentment. Having the right understanding of the self, our purpose, our origins and our true relationships should free us from the cycles of boom and bust and lead society to that ultimate happiness.

Instead of becoming disheartened by any type of upheaval, become one with a big heart.

I can withdraw from the organs of the body, and become the seed; detached, and the observer of this drama of life. Contentment comes.
