The human mind, in its desire to know, understand, and control, mistakes its opinions and viewpoints for the truth. - Eckhart Tolle

Suffering is in fact a call from the depths of our being.
It is in fact a call from happiness itself: 'Come back to me, you are looking for me in the wrong place. Cease rising in the form of attention, wandering in the realm of objects, looking for peace in situations, happiness in objects, love in relationships. Look for me where I really am. Look for me in the heart, look for me at the SOURCE of attention, not its destiny.'
Once the body is no longer presided over by the tyranny of a separate self, it gradually returns to its natural state of peace, openness, transparency, availability, sensitivity and love. - Rupert Spira

You find peace not by rearranging the circumstances of your life, but by realizing who you are at the deepest level. - Eckhart Tolle

Tradition is not to preserve the ashes, but to pass on the fire. - Gustav Mahler

We need suffering in order to see the path. The origin of suffering, the cessation of suffering, and the parth leading to the cessation of suffereing are all found in the heart of suffering. If we are afraid to touch our suffereing, we will not be able to realize the parth of peace, joy, and liberation. Don't run away. Touch your suffereing and emcrace it. Make peace with it. - Thich Nhat Hanh
