If we read the stories of the great spiritual teachers of the past, we find that they have attained spiritual realization through a great deal of meditation, solitude and practice. They did not take any shortcuts.

Rajiv Mehrontra

Should a seeker not find a companion who is better or equal, let them resolutely pursue a solitary course.

Sticking with that uncertainty, getting the knack of relaxing in the midst of chaos, learning not to panic—this is the spiritual path.

There is no fear for one whose mind is not filled with desires.

If you have fear of some pain or suffering, you should examine whether there is anything you can do about it. If you can, there is no need to worry about it; if you cannot do anything, then there is also no need to worry.

And as long as you're subject to birth and death, you'll never attain enlightenment.
