But when you think you're supposed to do something with it and imagine that you're the doer, that's pure delusion. Just follow your passion. Do what you love. Inquire, and have a happy life while you're doing it.
I am the perpretor of my suffering - but only all of it.
Nothing ever goes wrong in life.
Life is the constant opportunity to wake up.
Asking the questions - that's what changes lives. Every cell in your body is awake with inquiry. And you cannot believe the old thoughts again.
All I have is all I need and all I need is all I have in this moment.
I saw that we're all doing the best we can. This is how a lifetime of humility begins.
The mind usually says, “I know, I know, I know.” But the “don’t-know mind” is where wisdom lives.
There's no way that a clear mind can live an unhappy life.
You can't have an up without a down. You can't have a left without a right. This is duality. If you have a problem, you must already have the solution. The question is, do you really want the solution, or do you want to perpetuate the problem?
Everyone in your life is a figment of your imagination--ev en you.
Life is simple. Everything happens for you, not to you.
If your happiness depends on your children being happy, that makes them your hostages. So stay out of their business, stop using them for your happiness, and be your own happiness. And that way you are the teacher for your children: someone who knows how to live a happy life.
Don't be careful. You could hurt yourself.
