When we come from a place of "what about me?" We require courage to overcome fear. It is only when we come from a place of "what about them?" That we discover our strength. 

Like a hungry child that would throw tantrum but not eat, not know she is hungry, so we neglect what we need most in our times of need. 

Happiness, like common sense, is readily available and yet often inaccessible. 

We do everything in the name of happiness and yet all we do only stands in the way of our being happy. For there is no way to happiness other than to make happiness itself the way. 

If we had to choose between being sophisticated versus happy, we will choose the former. In fact, we already have. 

No matter how loving an action, if it seeks to gain approval, it is not love. We seek approval for our own sake. Only when the need for approval is dropped do we become capable of seeing and understanding the needs and concerns of another. 

Being happy is easy. What is difficult is to let go of all the becoming that stands in the way. We would rather be sophisticated, knowledgeable, accomplished, and miserable than be happy.

Many are the ways in which we ignore life, as are the ways in which she seeks our embrace. Start doing more of what you keep telling yourself you will get to eventually. There is no coming back to where you are today. Life knocks. Open the doors. 

Ambition devoid of compassion is as devastating as power disjointed from wisdom.

Indulgence can quench a longing only as long as the longing is not rooted in love. However, there is no longing devoid of love. Hence, no amount of indulgence ever brings complete fulfillment. All indulgence is ever tainted by a sense of dissatisfaction. Love is the only adequate and complete response to longing. 

The desire to change yesterday is rooted in discontent with today. When we are content with what is, we are also at peace with what was. 

The most altruistic use of power is to bring a balance to power - empower the weak and keep the strong in check.

ज़िंदगी क्या है़, कुछ शिकवों शिकायतों का सिलसिला

कुछ इंसान के जीते जी, कुछ उसके चले जाने के बाद ।।

Attachment is the inability to be without what one has. While greed is the inability to be without what one does not have. Both keep us from experiencing gratitude toward the joy of what is and the relief of what is not.
