Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.

There is a candle in your heart, ready to be kindled. There is a void in your soul, ready to be filled. You feel it, don’t you?

Be like a tree and let the dead leaves drop.

I have been a seeker and I still am, but I stopped asking the books and the stars. I started listening to the teaching of my Soul.

It’s your road and yours alone. Others may walk it with you, but no one can walk it for you.

Let silence be the art you practice

The spirit is so near that you can’t see it! But reach for it… don’t be a jar, full of water, whose rim is always dry. Don’t be the rider who gallops all night and never sees the horse that is beneath him.

Take someone who doesn’t keep score, who’s not looking to be richer, or afraid of losing, who has not the slightest interest even in his own personality: he’s free.

When the world pushes you to your knees, you’re in the perfect position to pray.

Be full of sorrow, that you may become hill of joy; weep, that you may break into laughter.

There is a voice that doesn’t use words, listen.

In silence there is eloquence. Stop weaving and see how the pattern improves.

What you seek is seeking you

Sell your cleverness and buy bewilderment. Cleverness is mere opinion. Bewilderment brings intuitive knowledge.

Caught by our own thoughts, we worry about everything.

When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy.

The lion is most handsome when looking for food.

If all you can do is crawl, start crawling.

You were born with wings. Why prefer to crawl through life?

You are not meant for crawling, so don’t. You have wings. Learn to use them and fly.

In each moment the fire rages, it will burn away a hundred veils. And carry you a thousand steps toward your goal.

Be a lamp, or a lifeboat, or a ladder. Help someone’s soul heal. Walk out of your house like a shepherd.

If you are irritated by every rub, how will your mirror be polished?

Do not worry if all the candles in the world flicker and die. We have the spark that starts the fire.

Observe the wonders as they occur around you. Don’t claim them. Feel the artistry moving through and be silent. Don’t grieve. Anything you lose comes round in another form.

Oh soul, you worry too much. You have seen your own strength. You have seen your own beauty. You have seen your golden wings. Of anything less, why do you worry? You are in truth the soul, of the soul, of the soul.

Do not feel lonely, the entire universe is inside you.

Everything in the universe is within you. Ask all from yourself.

The only lasting beauty is the beauty of the heart.

I have found the heart and will never leave this house of light.

Don’t you know yet? It is your Light that lights the worlds.

Your task? To work with all the passion of your being to acquire an inner light.

Truth lifts the heart, like water refreshes thirst.

Love is the water of life, jump into this water.

Listen to the sound of waves within you.

There are a thousand ways to kneel and kiss the ground; there are a thousand ways to go home again.

The Prophets accept all agony and trust it. For the water has never feared the fire.

Put your thoughts to sleep, do not let them cast a shadow over the moon of your heart. Let go of thinking.

It is certain that an atom of goodness on the path of faith is never lost.

On what is fear: Non-acceptance of uncertainty. If we accept that uncertainty, it becomes an adventure!

When you go through a hard period, when everything seems to oppose you, when you feel you cannot even bear one more minute, never give up! Because it is the time and place that the course will divert!

Those who don’t feel this love pulling them like a river, those who don’t drink dawn like a cup ofThose who don’t feel this love pulling them like a river, those who don’t drink dawn like a cup of springwater or take in sunset like a supper, those who don’t want to change, let them sleep. springwater or take in sunset like a supper, those who don’t want to change, let them sleep.

Always remember you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, smarter than you think and twice as beautiful as you’d ever imagined.

Why are you so enchanted by this world, when a mine of gold lies within you?

You were born with potential. You were born with goodness and trust. You were born with ideals and dreams. You were born with greatness. You were born with wings. You are not meant for crawling, so don’t. You have wings. Learn to use them and fly.

If something makes you happy in this world, you should think of what will happen to you if that thing were taken away.

If reason dominates in man, he rises higher than angels. If lust overpowers man, he descends lower than the beast.

Move, but don’t move the way fear makes you move.

The garden of the world has no limits except in your mind.

Looking up gives light, although at first it makes you dizzy.
