Unnecessary possessions are unnecessary burdens. If you have them, you have to take care of them! There is great freedom in simplicity of living. It is those who have enough but not too much who are the happiest.
Unnecessary possessions are unnecessary burdens.
Pure love is a willingness to give without a thought of receiving anything in return.
World peace will never be stable until enough of us find inner peace to stabilize it
There is something to that old saying that hate injures the hater, not the hated.
Truth is the pearl without price. One cannot obtain truth by buying it-all you can do is to strive for spiritual truth and when one is ready, it will be given freely. Nor should spiritual truth be sold, lest the seller be injured spiritually. You lose any spiritual contact the moment you commercialize it. Those who have the truth would not be packaging and selling it, so anyone who is selling it, really does not possess it.
Overcome evil with good, falsehood with truth, and hatred with love. The message isn't new, but we haven't learned to live it yet.
A life without problems would be a barren existence, without the opportunity for spiritual growth.
The way of peace is the way of love. Love is the greatest power on earth. It conquers all things....
When love fills your life all limitations are gone. The medicine this sick world needs so badly is love.
Life is like a mirror. Smile at it and it smiles back at you.
Humanity can only improve as people improve. When you have improved your life, you can inspire those around you to want to improve their lives. Remember that a few in harmony with God's will are more powerful than multitudes out of harmony.
If you realized how powerful your thoughts are, you would never think a negative thought.
It is my mission as a pilgrim to act as a messenger expressing spiritual truths. It is a task which I accept joyfully, and I desire nothing in return, neither praise or glory, nor the glitter of silver and gold. I simply rejoice to be able to follow the whisperings of a Higher Will.
