If one's life is simple, contentment has to come. Simplicity is extremely important for happiness. Having few desires, feeling satisfied with what you have, is very vital: satisfaction with just enough food, clothing, and shelter to protect yourself from the elements.

The Dalai Lama

You must understand that there is more than one path to the top of the mountain.

Miyamoto Musashi

My religion is based on truth and non-violence. Truth is my God. Non-violence is the means of realising Him.

Your duty is to be and not to be this or that. 'I am that I am' sums up the whole truth. The method is summed up in the words 'Be still'. Give up the notion that 'I am so and so'. All that is required to realize the Self is to be still. What can be easier than that?

Ramana Maharshi

The real honesty is a responsibility to the present moment. It needs tremendous awareness. You have to be honest to the present moment, not to the past, not to the future.

Let go of what has passed. Let go of what may come. Let go of what is happening now. Don't try to figure anything out. Don't try to make anything happen. Relax, right now, and rest.

Meditation is a lifelong gift. It's something you can call on at any time.
