There is nothing wrong with God's creation. Mystery and Suffering only exist in the mind.
-Ramana Maharshi

And once we have the condition of peace and joy in us, we can afford to be in any situation. Even in the situation of hell, we will be able to contribute our peace and serenity. The most important thing is for each of us to have some freedom in our heart, some stability in our heart, some peace in our heart. Only then will we be able to relieve the suffering around us.
-Thich Nhat Hanh

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

" ... it can be said in all truth

that the 'end of a world'

never is and never can be

anything but the end of an

illusion."

*Rabindranath Tagore Quotes*

"Do not say, "It is morning," and dismiss it with a name of yesterday. See it for the first time as a new-born child that has no name."

"Everything comes to us that belongs to us if we create the capacity to receive it."

"Facts are many, but the truth is one."

"Beauty is truth's smile when she beholds her own face in a perfect mirror."

"I have spent my days stringing and unstringing my instrument while the song I came to sing remains unsung."

"Whatever we treasure for ourselves separates us from others; our possessions are our limitations."

"He who wants to do good knocks at the gate; he who loves finds the gate open."

"This is the ultimate end of man, to find the One which is in him; which is his truth, which is his soul; the key with which he opens the gate of the spiritual life, the heavenly kingdom."

in Love and Light

but merely to seek and find all the barriers

within yourself that you have built against it.
