To awaken spiritual unity and to spread to others the love that is our inherent nature is the true goal of human life.
Love is the very foundation, beauty and fulfillment of life. If we dive deep enough into ourselves, we will find that the one thread of universal love ties all beings together. As this awareness dawns within us, peace alone will reign.
Even if we have everything, if there is no mental peace, we cannot lead a happy life.
Where there is concentration, there is harmony. Happiness is derived from concentration of the mind. Whatever we focus on we will become that.
True happiness is when the love that is within us finds expression in external activities.
When a flower is still a bud, we cannot experience its beauty or fragrance. We have to wait patiently for the bud to unfold on its own. Only then can we fully experience its beauty and fragrance.
In every stone exists a latent image. When the sculptor chisels away all the unwanted parts, the image emerges. That beautiful form is born because the stone offers itself to the artist, sitting patiently before him or her for a long time.
