Happy Is the One Who Is Nothing

To see and be aware of one's thoughts make one intensively sensitive, pliable and alert. Don't condemn or judge, but be very alert. Out of separation, out of the dross comes pure gold

One must be very clear within oneself. Then I assure you everything will come right; be clear and you will see that things will shape themselves right without your doing anything about it

Outward beauty can never last...We cultivate the outer, paying so little attention to the things inside the skin...it is the worm inside the apple that destroys the freshness of the apple

Humility is simplicity, but the cultivated humility is another form of worldliness

Things may not be easy, but more one asks of life, the more fearful and painful it becomes. To live simply uninfluenced...to be without varying moods and demands is not easy, but without deep quite life all things are futile

The stillness of the mind is the freedom from duality

Whatever happens, don't let the body shape the nature of the mind - be aware of the body, eat right, be by yourself during the day for some hours. Don't slip back and don't be a slave to circumstances. Be tremendous - be awake

Life is a strange business. Happy is the man who is nothing
