128"">Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where
there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness,
joy.

128"">

128"">O, Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love; For it is
in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; it is in
dying that we are born again to eternal life.

128"">

128"">Everyone sees the unseen in proportion to the clarity of his heart, and that depends upon how much he has polished it. Whoever has polished it more
sees more - more unseen forms become manifest to him.

128"">

128"">This Light is not like the light of the sun and the moon - in the presence of which, things still exist. When His Light shines unveiled, there are no

128"">Take the energy of gratitude, put it where it belongs; the results are quite remarkable.

128"">

128"">~~

128"">

128"">When you don't know, even answers are questions. And when you know, even questions become answers. How cool is that. How wonderful is that.

128"">

128"">When you don't know, you wonder. When you do know, you are thankful. Make the connection.

128"">

128"">~~

128"">

128"">It is not impossible to be happy in this lifetime. It is possible. And don’t take no for an answer.

128"">

128"">~~

128"">

128"">This is about your heart. You cannot fool your heart. You can fool your mind, and the mind can fool you, and it does. But the heart cannot be fooled,
and the heart does not fool you.

128"">

128"">~~

128"">

128"">In your life, don’t put aside joy, because if you lose your joy, what will be left? We can waste our breath in worries or we can accept joy in our life.
The one who accepts it will understand and fulfill their life."

128"">

128"">~~

128"">

128"">In all that you are trying to understand, add one more—understanding about yourself.

128"">In all that you're trying to complete, complete one more.

128"">And besides all those you are trying to help, help one more person—you.

128"">

128"">You need to feel content regardless of what is going on.

128"">You need to feel whole....

128"">Yes, you are the building block of your existence.

128"">

128"">And if that first step is missing, the next and the next and the next will also be missing.

128"">

128"">~~

128"">

128"">It is easier to climb Mount Everest, than it is to understand this breath that goes in and out of you ... it is easier to dive in the incredible depths
of this ocean than to dive in the depths of your heart.

128"">

128"">~~

128"">

128"">One thing that never ages and never goes away is that desire to be fulfilled.

128"">That desire can become the most important part of you. Hone in on it. Focus.

128"">When you do, then this evening becomes a dawn. Not the end, but a beautiful new beginning. Every day.

128"">That’s not fiction, that’s reality. In that, you can find incredible comfort.

128"">Dawn comes. It’s true, it’s simple and it’s beautiful.

128"">

128"">~~

128"">

128"">You are alive. Breath comes into you, and breath leaves. You have consciousness, you can think. You can feel. You can understand, you can admire,
you can appreciate. You can be hurt, you can feel pain, you can suffer. You can
enjoy. All of these elements, sophisticated to say the least, have been
squeezed into you. And to complete this nicely and neatly, we are bound by time.
When will it end? The end of the box is just beyond our vision.

128"">

128"">We know it’s there somewhere. We just don’t get to see it. Every day comes, and every day the breath comes. Everything we need for a whole lifetime.
We don’t have to see the future. All that has been taken care of for us.
Everything is broken down into now. And now is the only thing we need to be
concerned about. Why don’t we trust now?

128"">

128"">We’re willing to trust tomorrow when tomorrow can never come. Because if it decides to come, it must come as now. And here, in this moment, life is
dancing a beautiful dance. In awe of this creation. In awe of this magnificent,
yet simple beauty of existence. Here it is. Here are all the flowers of life
blooming. It’s not some picture.

128"">

128"">~~

128"">

128"">Do I trust in this breath? Do I know that each time it comes into me, it leaves me with a Gift?

128"">

128"">~

128"">

128"">Do I understand that the Power which sustains the Universe comes to me in the form of this breath? That it touches me?

128"">

128"">~

128"">

128"">I have understood many things – Now I need to understand myself.

128"">

128"">~

128"">

128"">This is a Journey homeward bound. This is a Journey inward bound.

128"">

128"">~~

128"">

128"">We have mastered the art of provoking that which is bad in people, but we have not learnt the art of provoking what is good in people.

128"">

128"">~~

128"">

128"">The saints say, if someone is drowning, throw them a rope, but if they start drowning you, give them a push. Stand on the bank strongly and throw them
the rope - don't get pulled in.

128"">

128"">~~

128"">

128"">As a drop of water is to the thirsty, as hope is to the desperate, as the sun is to the sunflower, as the nectar is to the bee,

128"">as food is to the hungry, let each breath be that for you and me.

128"">

128"">~~

128"">

128"">The infinite is not a topic of conversation. All you can do is feel it. Experience it. And then you will understand.

128"">

128"">~~

128"">

128"">You can dance. Great. But have you learned to dance in your heart? You can sing. Great.
Have you learned to sing in your heart?
You can fly. Great. Have you learned how to fly with this
heart? Because if you haven’t, it
remains incomplete. The journey remains
incomplete.

128"">

128"">~~

128"">

Knowledge doesn't create an experience. Knowledge puts you in touch with an experience. Big difference.

We are the union of the infinite and the finite.

Be in the present. Live your life consciously. Be fulfilled. Recognize the importance of breath. Be aware.

128"">If it’s raining and it’s really raining, raining, raining, raining, and you get an umbrella… You won’t get wet, right? Because you have an umbrella in
your hand, you won’t get wet.

128"">A lot of people think exactly that: All I need is an umbrella.

128"">They get an umbrella. They are holding the umbrella and they’re still getting wet. Wondering, “Why am I getting wet? I’ve got an umbrella.”

128"">

128"">Open the umbrella.
