To tolerate someone else's mistakes is one thing. To forgive them is even greater.
Existence is not a problem to be solved, it is a mystery to be lived. And you should be perfectly aware what the difference is between a mystery and a problem. A problem is something created by the mind; a mystery is something which is there, not created by the mind. A problem has an ugliness in it, like disease. A mystery is beautiful. With a problem, immediately a fight arises. You have to solve it; something is wrong, you have to put it right; something is missing, you have to supply the missing link. With a mystery there is no question like that. The moon arises in the night.... It is not a problem, it is a mystery. You have to live with it. You have to dance with it. You have to sing with it, or you can be just silent with it. Something mysterious surrounds you.

Detachment is the releasing of all our attachments, from our false identity to our opinions, from people to possessions. Cutting the subtle threads of attachment frees the
spirit from fear, and when the time comes to move on, it's like 'shooting the breeze'. Detachment is simply letting go of all you hold fast to in your mind. It doesn't
actually mean losing anything, simply changing your relationship with the things in your life today. The greatest pleasure for every soul comes as a result of choosing
detachment. Why? Because attachment is a form of slavery that takes place in our own minds. And the result of detachment? Real freedom.

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen, nor touched ... but are felt in the heart.
The true value of a human being can be found in the degree to which he has attained liberation from the self.
He knows not his own strength that hath not met adversity
Argue for your limitations and, sure enough, they're yours.
I am here for a purpose and that purpose is to grow into a mountain, not to shrink to a grain of sand. Henceforth will I apply ALL my efforts to become the highest mountain of all and I will strain my potential until it cries for mercy.
Hence to fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemys resistance without fighting.
