One may be surrounded by wicked people who are treacherous and evil in their ways…. But one should not be impatient with them or show hatred…No person is wicked by nature but circumstances and upbringing make him so… if someone whom I hold dear turns to evil ways, I should strive to help him with love. Even so would I treat a stranger. Let me see the same Self in the wicked man; let me not hate him.

The key to everything is patience. You get the chicken by hatching the egg –not by smashing it. Giving simply because it is right to give, without thought of return, at proper time, in proper circumstances, and to a worthy person, is enlightened giving. Giving with regrets or in the expectation of receiving some favor or of getting something in return, is selfish giving. What is patience? Shankaracharya says: “Sit by the seashore and take one drop of water on a blade of grass. If you have enough patience and there is a place nearby wherein that drop can be stored, you may, in time, empty the ocean of all its water”. This is an illustration of almost perfect patience. When love is not madness, it is not love. It matters not what you inquire into but when you inquire into a thing, you must never give it up, until you have thoroughly understood it….It matters not what you try to think out, but when you once try to think out a thing, you must never give it up until you have got what you want. He who is overcautious falls into dangers at every step; he who is afraid of losing honour and respect, gets only disgrace; he who is always afraid of loss, always loses. A man watches his pear tree day after day, impatient for the ripening of the fruit. Let him attempt to force the process, and he may spoil both fruit and tree. But let him patiently way, and the ripe fruit at length falls into his lap.

Of those who love, do not ask what life is theirs, what longing, what yearning; for they are leaves dead and dry consumed by a fire that is their own! Let there be spaces in your togetherness And let the winds of heaven dance between you. Love one another, but make not a bond of love. Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your soul. Fill each other’s cup, but drink not from one cup.. let each one of you be alone, even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music.. And stand together, but yet not too near together: For the pillars of the temple stand apart, and the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other’s shade. To remain cheerful, learn how to cordon off areas of weakness. Once you refuse them entry into the rest of your mind, they can no longer influence you. Then you can work on them safely.

He by whom the world is not agitated and who cannot be agitated by the world, and who is free from joy, anger, fear and worry –he is dear to Me.

Somehow I can’t believe that there are any heights that can’t be scaled by a man who knows the secrets of making dreams come true, This special secret, it seems to me, can be summarized in four C’s. The are Curiosity, Confidence, Courage and Constancy, and the greatest of all is Confidence. When you believe in a thing, believe in it all the way. Implicitly and unquestionably. All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them. By day I praised you and never knew it. By night I stayed with you and never knew it. I always thought that I was me.. but no, I was you and never knew it. O Allah! If I worship You for fear of Hell, burn me in Hell, and if I worship You in Hope of Paradise, exclude me from Paradise. But if I worship You for Your Own sake, grudge me not your everlasting Beauty.

Occasionally in life there are those moments of unutterable fulfillment which cannot be completely explained by those symbols called words. Their meanings can only be articulated by the inaudible language of the heart. Never tell a young person that anything can’t be done. God may have been waiting centuries for someone ignorant enough of the impossible to do that very thing. You will he pleased to know I stand obediently for the national anthem, though I would defend you right to remain seated should you so decide. The beginning of love is to let those we love be themselves, and not twist them to fit our own image. Otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves in them. We are sick with fascination for the useful tools of names and numbers, of symbols, signs, conceptions and ideas.

When the Gods oppressed by Ravana appealed to Lord Brahma, he replied: while Ravana was asking for his boon, he asked to be unconquerable by Gandharvas, Yakshas, Gods and demons. His boon was granted. His contempt made him forget to mention men; he shall therefore be destroyed by none other than a man. When asked how much educated men were superior to those uneducated, Aristotle answered, “as much as the living are to the dead”. As children bring their broken toys/ With tears for us to mend/ I brought my broken dream to God/ Because He was my friend./ But then, instead of leaving Him/ In peace to work alone/ I hung around and tried to help Him/ With ways that were my own./ at last I snatched them back and cried:/ “How can you be so slow!” “My child”, He said: “What could I do? You never did let go”. All charming people have something to conceal, usually their total dependence on the appreciation of others.

As the holy one I recognized thee, O wise Lord, When he came to me as Good Mind; the silent thought taught me the greatest good so that I might proclaim it. That seeker must at all times put his trust in God, must renounce the peoples of the earth, detach himself from the world of dust, and cleave unto Him who is the Lord of Lords. If anyone revile you, or trouble touches you in the path of God, be patient, and put your trust in Him who heareth, who seeth. He, in turn, witnesseth, and percieveth, and doeth what he pleaseth, thought the power of His sovereignty. Let your reliance be on the remembrance of God, the most Exalted, the Most Great. He will, erelong, bring to naught all the things ye possess. Let him be your fear, and forget not His Covenant with you, and be not of them that are shut out as by a veil from Him. Purity thou, first, thy soul with the waters of renunciation, and adorn thine head with the crown of the fear of God, and thy temple with the ornament of reliance upon Him.

No, this trick won't work...How on earth are you ever going to explain in terms of chemistry and physics so important a biological phenomenon as first love? A ‘No’ uttered from the deepest conviction is better than a ‘Yes’ uttered merely to please, or worse, to avoid trouble. A religion that takes no account of practical affairs and does not help to solve them is no religion. A small body of determined spirits fired by an unquenchable faith in their mission can alter the course of history. A vow is a purely religious act which cannot be taken in a fit of passion. It can be taken only with a mind purified and composed and with God as witness. An error does not become truth by reason of multiplied propagation, nor does truth become error because nobody sees it. Before the throne of the Almighty, man will be judged not by his acts but by his intentions. For God alone reads our hearts. Confession of errors is like a broom which sweeps away the dirt and leaves the surface brighter and clearer. I feel stronger for confession.

Time is Too slow for those who Wait, Too swift for those - Henry who Fear, Too long for those who Grieve, Too short for Vandyke those who Rejoice, But for those who Love Time is not. God is the friend of silence. See how nature-trees, flowers, grass-grows in silence; see the stars, the moon - Mother Teresa and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls.

I asked for strength and God gave me difficulties to make strong. I asked for wisdom and God gave me problems to solve. I asked for courage and God gave me dangers to overcome. I asked for love and God gave me troubled people to help. I asked for favours and God gave me opportunities I received nothing I wanted. I received everything I needed.

There is no set of circumstances that can’t be turned about by ordinary human beings and their natural capacity for love of the deepest sort. 53

How does this affect my Buddhist practice? It doesn’t. these reported events are like an arrow shot at my heart but it lands at my feet.

Your worst enemy can’t harm you as much as our own unguarded thoughts. Develop the mind of equilibrium. You will always be getting praise and blame, but don’t let either affect the poise of the mind: follow the calmness, the absence of pride.

The best revenge is to be unlike him who performed the injury. Strength is happiness. Strength is itself victory. In weakness and cowardice there is no happiness. When you wage a struggle, you might win or you might lose. But regardless of the short-term outcome, the very fact of your continuing to struggle is proof of your victory as a human being. Let me not pray to be sheltered from dangers, but to be fearless in facing them. Let me not beg for the stilling of my pain, but for the heart to conquer it.
-Marcus Aurelius
-Daisaku Ikeda.
-Rabindranath Tagore.
Act with courage and dignity, stick to the ideals that give -Jawaharlal meaning to life. Nehru. Victory begets enmity, the defeated dwell in pain.

And if you wrong us, shall we not revenge? If we are like you in the rest, we will resemble you in that.
-Dhammapada -William Shakespeare.

For last year’s words belong to last year’s language, And next year’s words await another voice, And to make an end is to make a beginning. We don’t believe in ourselves until someone reveals that deep inside us something is valuable, worth listening to, worthy of our trust, sacred to our touch… that reveals the human spirit. The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society the honor the servant and has forgotten the gift. Don’t believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Don’t believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Don’t believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Don’t believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it. Spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever. Say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side. Give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn’t cost a thing. Remember, to say, ‘I love you’ to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all meant it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you. Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again. 57

There is no such thing as instant improvement in life. And as you know in agriculture, growth can only happen little by little over time…. The things that you do daily may seem small and insignificant, but over time people will be surprised to learn how much you have grown in -Donald life. Latumahina. Focus on the small things you do daily. The key word here is daily. If you don’t have the persistence to do these small things consistently, you won’t be able to see the results over the long term.

No man or woman of the humblest sort can really be strong, gentle and good without the world being better for it, without somebody being helped and comforted by the very existence of that goodness. Whatever in society is good and great and sublime is the working out of love. Whatever in society is very bad – nay diabolical –is also ill-directed, working out of the same emotion of love. It is this same emotion that gives us the pure and holy conjugal love as well as the sort of love which goes to satisfy the lowest forms of passion. It is the same feeling of love well or ill-directed that impels one man to do good and to give all he has to the poor, while it makes another man cut the throats of his brethren and take away all their possessions. The former loves others as much as the later loves himself. 58

Ah, fill the cup: what boots it to repeat How time is slipping underneath our Feet; Unborn, Tomorrow and dead Yesterday, Why fret about them if Today be sweet! Don’t occupy your precious time except with the most precious of things, and the most precious of human things is the state of being occupied between the past and the future. The good endure pain in the interest of others. But the evil do so to give others pain. The tender-hearted, like the birch tree, submit to distress –even allow their bark to be torn off – for the good of their neighbors. But the wicked, like the hemp, have their skin flayed off and perish in agony to be able to torture others. They do harm to others even though they have no purpose of their own to serve. Having destroyed their neighbor’s property, they perish themselves, like the hail that melts away to nothing after ruining the crops. The rise of the wicked is a source of calamity to the world. The rise of the good, on the other hand, like that of the sun and the moon, is ever conducive to universal joy. The highest merit known to the Vedas is to do no harm; and there is no sin as heinous as speaking ill of others.
-Omar Khayyam. -Isa al-Kharraz.
