Good or bad, beautiful or ugly; these are our own judgements. God is the creator of it all; and IS all. He manifests through the myriad of opposites. We cannot have day without night, we cannot have the sweet without the bitter. Our task is to accept the manifestations of God’s will without passing judgement or questioning his wisdom – Jonathan Roof
The mind is a bundle of thoughts. The thoughts arise because there is the thinker. The thinker is the ego. The ego, if sought, will automatically vanish. The ego and the mind are the same. The ego is the root-thought from which all other thoughts arise – Ramana Maharshi
What is death? Death is the immortal pilgrim’s short rest along the road of Eternity. Death is a necessary experience for human beings at the present state of their evolving consciousness. Death is a shattering blow for desiring human beings and, at the same time, it is an awakening hand for aspiring human beings – Sri Chinmoy
Christianity is for Christians, but Jesus is for the world. Hinduism is for Hindus but Krishna is for the world – Professor Anil Kumar
When you ask for happiness and a beautiful life, ask not just for you, but for everyone. When you ask for something better, ask not just for you, but for everyone. By all means ask for abundance and health for you, but also ask for it to be given to everyone. Can you imagine what would happen if six billion people asked for these things for you?
Rhonda Byrne
The boy is back in town!
Trying to change someone is a waste of time. The very thought of changing someone is saying that they are not good enough as they are, and it is soaked with judgment and disapproval. That is not a thought of appreciation or love, and those thoughts will only bring separation between you and that person. You must look for the good in people to have more of it appear. As you look only for the good things in a person, you will be amazed at what your new focus reveals – Rhonda Byrne
