Most people lead their lives like they drive their cars.
Spiritual balance is to be straight with yourself.
The universe is complicated and we're not going to get it all in one night or one incarnation or one infinity.
The only loser who walks away from a wise man is the one who walks away.
Knowledge is the ability to love, the ability to feel, the ability to probe the depths and the heights of life. It is the experience of the experiencer, and at the same time, it is beyond that.
The ultimate intelligence of all things is your essence. Your mind is the universe. Your body is all things.
If you are truly wise, then you reflect the universe and you are relational in your approach to things. You are a mirror of infinity. That is wisdom.
Honestly admitting what you lost and not trying to rationalize it or push it off is an important step in self-assessment and mindfulness.
Tragedy brings us closer to ourselves - it's the only thing that does.
This world only brings things apart that come together, and brings things together that weren't together.
There is wisdom in not letting anyone really know who you are or what you are like. If you define yourself, people hold you in their mind a certain way making it difficult to change.
True wisdom is to see and understand your relationship with the universe. When you gain that relational knowledge, then you are wise.
The universe is perfection. But there are different views that universe provides for itself to view itself. Beyond all views there is nirvana.
There is a wonderful continuity of being, the continuous awareness of self, a sense of yourself continuing in time and space.
Wisdom is the ability to realize that everyone has their own dharma, everyone goes their own way. What works for you is not the ultimate good. Know that other people have different way.
Wisdom is seeing that there are templates in the universe that you can follow. They will show you what to do and what not to do. In order to see them you have to make your mind very quiet, very still.
All answers are only found in the super-conscious. It takes us to a point where we don't ask questions anymore because that part of us which would ask goes away.
Wisdom is to see the difference between nirvana and this world, this self-reflection that the mind creates.
Some people get tired of continual perception of the finite universe. They feel the perception of the universe over and over in variant forms is kind of an unhappy condition, because it doesn't last.
When the answer doesn't come, it's not supposed to come yet. Don't make eternity try and conform to what you want. That's desire. desire leads to frustration.
It's always better to be conservative in action. One must always consider the dangers in the world.
If you act impetuously, it will be uncertain, and you'll know it. It just won't feel right. It is better to wait.
If you wait till you're very sure, then you'll find yourself doing it, and when you do there'll be an ease.
Life draws us in different directions, sometimes simultaneously. When you follow the direction that life draws you in, if you stay in a very powerful state of mind, then you'll see eternity.
You don't live forever, at least in this life.
