Sunday

 I consider non-violence to be compassion in action. It doesn’t mean weakness, cowering in fear, or simply doing nothing. It is to act without violence, motivated by compassion, recognising the rights of others.
Dalai Lama


The art of knowing is knowing what to ignore.

Rumi

 “The purpose of all the major religious traditions is not to construct big temples on the outside, but to create temples of goodness and compassion inside, in our hearts.”

~His Holiness the Dalai Lama



"A human being is a part of the whole universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself and his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness- that separation. This delusion is a kind of prison for us. Our task is to free ourselves from this prison by exercising compassion and embracing all of nature and her creatures."

~Einstein

 Its your road, and yours alone.
others may walk it with you,
but no one can walk it for you.

Rumi

 “You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself, any direction you choose.”

~Dr. Seuss
 "There are two basic motivating forces: fear and love. When we are afraid, we pull back from life. When we are in love, we open to all that life has to offer with passion, excitement, and acceptance. We need to learn to love ourselves first, in all our glory and our imperfections. If we cannot love ourselves, we cannot fully open to our ability to love others or our potential to create. Evolution and all hopes for a better world rest in the fearlessness and open-hearted vision of people who embrace life."

— John Lennon

 "When we are all gone from our bodies we leave behind only one thing on this earth, and that is Love."

~KK Sah
