Echoes

Attention is the rarest and purest form of generosity.

Wherever you go, go with all your heart.

To the mind that is still, the whole universe surrenders.

It means being conscious and aware enough to choose what you pay attention to and to choose how you construct meaning from experience.

Let us be silent, that we may hear the whisper of the gods.

In silence and in stillness a devout soul maketh progress, and learneth the mysteries of Holy Scripture.

To the quiet mind all things are possible.

The temple bell stops but I still hear the sound coming out of the flowers.

With an eye made quiet by the power of harmony, and the deep power of joy, we see into the life of things.

The present moment contains past and future. The secret of transformation, is in the way we handle this very moment.

You are today where your thoughts have brought you; you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you.

Breath is the bridge which connects life to consciousness, which unites your body to your thoughts. Whenever your mind becomes scattered, use your breath as the means to take hold of your mind again.

Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind.

A man who dares to waste one hour of time has not discovered the value of life.

It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.

I am alarmed when it happens that I have walked a mile into the woods bodily, without getting there in spirit.

Man is a dream of a shadow. But when god-given brightness comes, a shining light rests on men, and life is sweet.

The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.

Beware lest you lose the substance by grasping at the shadow.

My experience is what I agree to attend to.

Happy is the man who hath the hour of his death always before his eyes, and daily prepareth himself to die.

Therefore, this terror of the mind and the darkness must be dispelled not by the rays of the sun or the bright light of day, but by the appearance and reasoning of nature.

I am endeavouring to live every day as if it were a complete life.

There is more wisdom in your body than in your deepest philosophy.

The miracle is not to walk on water. The miracle is to walk on the green earth in the present moment, to appreciate the peace and beauty that are available now.
