Strengthen me by sympathizing with my strength, not my weakness.
True peace can be experienced only when we stop giving and taking sorrow. In order not to give sorrow we need a clear heart that has no ill feelings and for not taking sorrow we need a big heart that can tolerate and help other souls to get over their weaknesses.
It’s been said that you cannot give away what you do not have.
One of the most spiritual important insights or secrets in life
is that you already have, and always have had, what you need to
give away! If you impart the message that ’I am not worthy’ the
universe will send it straight back in many shapes, forms and
circumstances. When we say ’give me’ we are imparting this
message. We are saying we think we need to get something to
complete ourselves or prove our worth. Most of us are taught
to live a life of gimmie gimmie gimmie – always striving,
desiring, wanting, struggling. We do so only because we think
that when we get what we want we will be fulfilled and esteemed
by others. But it’s an illusion. We are all already complete and
worthy but we cannot know it and experience it, until we give it
away! Only giving allows us to know what we are and what we have
within. Ask the question – how can I serve? The intention to serve
will point you towards what you need to give. If the intention is
real it also generates the will. The most successful people in life
are not go getters, but go givers!

Thats what learning is, after all; not whether we lose the game, but how we lose and how we've changed because of it and what we take away from it that we never had before, to apply to other games. Losing, in a curious way, is winning.
Everything depends on our thinking. If I think in the right way I will be light. If I think in a wasteful way I'll be heavy. Waste thoughts are dangerous. They waste my time. They allow the past to come alive, then I may forget the present and question the future.
A lost battle is a battle one thinks one has lost.
There is no religion higher than the truth.
Use whatever talent you have for the service of others and watch it grow and grow.
Surrealism is destructive, but it destroys only what it considers to be shackles limiting our vision.
Treat a work of art like a prince. Let it speak to you first.
A fanatic is one who cant change his mind and wont change the subject.
