Quote: Compassion

It must be said that genuine compassion is not like pity or a feeling that others are somehow lower than you. Rather, with genuine compassion you view others as more important than yourself. Dalai lama

Quote: Anger

Anger and hatred are two of our closest friends. When I was young I had quite a close relationship with anger. Then eventually I found a lot of disagreement with anger. By using common sense, with the help of compassion and wisdom, I now have a more powerful argument with which to defeat anger. Dalai Lama

Quote: Smile

The smile is a very important feature of the human face. But because of human intelligence, even that good part of human nature can be used in the wrong way, such as sarcastic smiles or diplomatic smiles, which only serve to create suspicion. I feel that a genuine affectionate smile largely depends on ones own attitude. It is illogical to expect smiles from others if one does not smile oneself. Therefore, one can see that many things depend on ones own behaviour. Dalai Lama

Quote: Mind and Body

Our experiences and feelings are mainly related to our bodies and minds. We know from our daily experiences that mental happiness is beneficial. For instance, though two people may face the same kind of tragedy, one person may face it more easily than the other due to his or her mental attitude. Dalai Lama

Quote: Truth

Truth resides in the heart of every man. And it is there that he must seek it, in order to be guided by it so that, at the least, it will appear to him. But we do not have the right to force others to see the truth in our way. Mahatma Gandhi

Quote: Attachment

Attachment follows the experience of pleasure. Aversion follows the experience of pain. Clinging to life is the sentiment which causes its own potency to flow equally even in the wise. Their operations are to be got rid of by meditation. Bengali Baba - Yogasutra of Patanjali

Quote: Seeing Truly

If you see the soul in every living being, you see truly. If you see immortality in the heart of every mortal being, you see truly. The Bhagavad Gita

Quote: Search

It is in the very heart of our activity that we search for our god. Rabindranath Tagore

Quote: Limitations

The Gita says: "Yoga is not for the person who eats a lot or for the one who starves. Yoga is not for the person who sleeps too much or for the one always keeping vigil". We shouldn't go to extremes, but should have limitations. The Yogasutra of Patanjali
