  • Be at one with the universe

  • Be thirsty for knowledge

  • Have a slim figure

  • Have intellect, ardent thoughts, strong will, high vocation

  • Delight and make everyone happy

  • People may be beloved by all, yet have no joy in their own hearts

  • Love from your family and friends will not always make you happy, give you peace, satisfy, and suffice you. Those need to come from within

  • Your soul is the whole world

  • Have a quiet and noble manner

  • Live a good life with wise words, fine and noble thoughts

  • We must find the source within our own self

  • Your destiny and self with unfold on its own

  • Do not waste words

  • Everything stinks with lies and are an illusion of sense, happiness, and beauty

  • Become empty of thirst, desire, dreams, pleasure, and sorrow. Let yourself die. Experience the peace of an emptied heart and experience pure thought. We we conquer ourselves, when all passions and desires are silent, then the last of us must awaken, our innermost being that is no longer self

  • Kill your senses, kill your memory, slip out of self into a thousand different forms

  • Travel the way of self-denial through meditation and emptying your mind of all images

  • We have learned and we are still learning. We will become great

  • What is meditation? What is abandonment of the body? What is fasting? What is the holding of breath? It is a flight from the Self, it is a temporary escape from the torment of Self. It is a temporary palliative against the pain and folly of life

  • The drinker does indeed find escape, he does indeed find a short respite and rest, but he returns from the illusion and finds everything as it was before. He has not grown wiser, he has not gained knowledge, he has not climbed any higher

  • We have learned much yet there is still much to learn. We are not going in circles we are going upwards. Path is a spiral we have already climbed many steps

  • We find constellations we learn tricks with which we deceive ourselves but the essential thing the way we do not fight

  • Always be thirsty for knowledge always be full of questions

  • Speak with please speak with completeness sake if nothing imitate nothing reflect a continuous quiet in on fading light and invulnerable piece

  • No seeking no well no counterfeit no effort only light and peace

  • Life is pain the world is full of suffering but the path to the release from suffering has not been found

  • It is not for us to judge another life. We must judge ourselves. We must choose and reject. We should release from the self. You can deceive yourself that you are at peace and I have a 10 salvation but the true self will continue to live and grow

  • Conquer yourself

  • Have teachers and listen to their teachings

  • The reason we do not know about ourselves is because we are afraid of ourselves. We flee from ourselves

  • No longer try to escape yourself

  • Learn from yourself

  • Nadine in the alley or not hidden behind things they are inside of all of them

  • We are no longer who we were

  • Move on from your path past and walk quickly and impatiently forwards

  • Seek your place in the world do not seek reality the world is beautiful without any seeking it is simple and childlike

  • Be present

  • You cannot trap yourself in a net of thoughts

  • Listen to the voice of your heart

  • Nothing else is necessary then to follow the voice of your heart

  • Everything comes back

  • All are grateful although they themselves deserve thanks think Little people or children are

  • Never again lower your eyes when meeting a beautiful woman

  • Do you have learned and obtain money clothes and shoes for it

  • Be everyone's equal

  • From the moment you make a resolution know that you will execute it

  • When you have a goal do nothing weight think fast but do nothing and do not disturb yourself be drawn and let yourself fall be drawn in by your goal do not let anything into your mind with your poses your goal

  • Nothing is caused by demons there are no demons everyone can perform magic everyone can reach his goal if you can think weight and fast wait wait

  • I am not in need

  • Everyone gives what they have

  • If a man has nothing to eat fast team is the most intelligent thing he can do. If four instance Siddhartha had not learned to fast he would have to seek some kind of work today for hunger would have driven him but as it is so dark they can wait, he is not impatient he is not he need he can ward off hunger for a long time and laugh at it there for fasting is useful

  • Writing is good thinking is better clever is good patient is better

  • Learning here much say little

  • Treat everyone as an equal and even more than your equal

  • Never fear failure and never worry about a loss

  • If you share the profits and losses they will become more enthusiastic

  • Do not scold nothing has ever achieved by scolding if they lost has been sustained I will bear the loss I am very satisfied with this journey I've become acquainted with many people I've become friendly with people nobody took me for a merchant

  • Let's be good friends

  • It serves no purpose to other troubled or angry words and forms wrinkles on your four head and you sleep badly

  • We all have a stillness and sanctuary to which we can retreat at any time and be yourself

  • Within ourselves we have a guide and path

  • People can love

  • Listen to your voice

  • Ordinary people do not fast weight and think

  • It is a good thing to experience everything oneself

  • Was it not his self his small fearful and proud self with her which she had wrestled with for so many years but which had always concord him again with you. Each time we get in again which robbed him of happiness and filled him with beer his self died today was it not because of its death that he was now like a child so full of trust and happiness without fear

  • No teacher can bring you salvation

  • Nothing was nothing will be everything has reality and presents

  • No happiness and peace will come with your son only sorrow in trouble but you'll love him and prefer the sorrow in trouble of his love rather than happiness and peace without the boy

  • We all suffer much make many mistakes do much injustice and commitment Asians

  • Gentleness is stronger than severity water is stronger than rock love is stronger than fours

  • Be a master of patience

  • We all look after ourselves and go our own way

  • Vanities desires in trivialities no longer seem absurd they have become understandable lovable and even worthy of respect

  • People live in do great things travel can go to Warsaw for an indoor immensely love them for it

  • People are worthy of love and admiration and they're blind loyalty in there blind strength and tenacity

  • The course of a events in life are a fateful Circle

  • Don't seek too much

  • When someone is seeking it happens quite easily that he only sees a thing that you're seeking that he is unable to find anything on able to absorb anything because he's only thinking of the thing he is seeking because he has a goal because he is up SAST with his goal seeking means to have a goal but finding means to be free to be receptive to have no goal you were the one or perhaps indeed a shaker for and striving towards your goal you do not see many things that are under your nose

  • Wisdom is not communicable the wisdom which I wise man tries to communicate always sounds foolish

  • Knowledge can be communicated but not wisdom one can find it live it before if I buy it do you wonders through it but one cannot communicate and teach it

  • In every truth the opposite is equally true

  • Never is a man holding a saint or a center is only seem so because we suffer the illusion that time is something real time is not real

  • The world is not perfect or slowly evolving along a path to perfection know it is perfect at every moment every sin already carries grace with it it all small children are potentially old man also cleans of death within them all dying people internal life it is not possible for one person to see how far another is on the way during deep meditation it is possible to dispel time to see simultaneously all the past presidents present and future and then everything is good everything is perfect therefore it seems to me that everything that exist is good death as well as life center as well as holiness wisdom as well as folly everything is necessary everything needs only my agreement my sent my loving understanding then all is well with me and nothing can harm me I learned through my body and soul that it was necessaryfor me to send that I needed last that I had to strive for poverty property and experience nausea and the depths of despair in order to learn not to resist them in order to learn to love the world and no longer compare it with some kind of desired imaginary world some imaginary vision of perfection but to let leave it as it is to love it and be glad to belong to it

  • For me to send that I needed last that I had to strive for poverty property and experience nausea and the depths of despair in order to learn not to resist them in order to learn to love the world and no longer compare it with some kind of desired imaginary world some imaginary vision of perfection but to let leave it as it is to love it and be glad to belong to it I do not respect and love it because it is it was one thing and will become something else but because it has already long you been everything and always is everything

  • Words do not express thoughts very well they always become a little different immediately there expressed a little this oriented a little foolish

  • It is only important to love the world not to despise it not for us to hate each other but to be able to regard the world and ourselves and all the beans with love and admiration and respect

  • Your deeds in life are more important then your talk your gesture is more important then your opinions
