~~~SIMPLICITY OF INNER PEACE~~~

Nothing can hurt you, unless you, give it the power to do so.

They who, wherever they go are attached to no person and to no place by ties of flesh; who accepts good and evil alike, neither welcoming the one nor shirking from the other - take it that such a one has attained inner peace.

For at once he draws the string of the bow of life and death; he walks with naturalle; and their paths are peace. Quiet minds cannot be perplexed or frightened, but go on in fortune or misfortune at there own private pace, like a clock during a thunderstorm. Everything is changeable, everything appears and disappears; there is no blissful peace until one passes beyond the agony of life and death. A peace may be so wretched as not to be ill exchanged for war. He who does not attempt to make peace when small discords arise, Is like the bee's hive which leaks drops of honey- soon, the whole hive collapses.

Everything is changeable, everything appears and disappears; there is to be no blissful peace until one passes beyond the agony of life and death. For those who do not attempt to reach their inner peace when small discords arise, Even our own inner peace may be purchased at too high a price.

Six great enemies of our inner peace inhabits with us: vice, avarice, ambition, envy, anger and pride. If those enemies were to be banished, we should infallibly enjoy perpetual lasting inner peace. Inner peace can be reached through meditation in the knowledge which dreams give. Inner peace can also be reached through concentration upon that which is dearest to the heart.

A hero is born among a hundred, A wise man is found among a thousand, But an accomplished one might not be found, even among a hundred thousand men.

Things perfected by nature are better than those finished by art. Nature has perfections, in order to show that she is the image of The Great Spirit; and defects, to show that she is only his image. We must be strong enough to mould the peculiarity of his imperfections into the perfection of his peculiarities. Humanity, divine limitation; Divinity, human perfection.

There is no greater delight than to be conscious of right within us. If you strives to treat others as you would be treated by them, you shall not fail to come near the perfection of tranquillity of inner peace. Only the heart without strain knows perfect ease. When you have achieved the tranquillity of inner peace, your search will be complete, for only then, will you have achieved the ideal perfection.

Remember to preserve a calm inner peace amid difficulties. Pursue not the outer entanglements, Dwell not in the inner void; Be serene in the oneness of things, And dualism vanishes by itself. There is nothing so likely to produce inner peace, above all things, this is to be desired, but blood must sometimes be spilled to obtain it on equable and lasting terms.

To be satisfied with a little, Is the greatest wisdom, And he that increaseth his riches, Increaseth his cares; But a contented mind is a hidden treasure, And trouble findeth not.

The self-controlled soul, who moves amongst sense objects, free form either attachment or repulsion, wins inner peace. In the pursuit of inner peace, even of the best things, ought to be calm and tranquil.

Her ways are ways of pleasantness, And all her paths are peace. The wise should surrender speech in mind, Mind in the knowing self, The knowing self in The Great Spirit of the universe. And the The Great Spirit for the lodge in some vast wilderness.

There are two perfect men; One is dead, and the other unborn. What is the most perfect seems to be incomplete; But its utility is unimpaired. What is most full seems to be empty; But its usefulness is inexhaustible. What is most straight seems to be crooked. The greatest skill seems to be clumsy. The greatest eloquence seems to stutter. Hasty movement overcomes cold, but tranquillity overcomes heat. By being greatly tranquil, So how can you expect to have tranquillity and inner peace...when you are full of contradiction.

To ways of understanding and reaching your inner peace - are, to make one know the meaning of perfection, and to recognise one's imperfection. Perfection - An imaginary state...distinguished from the actual by an element known as excellence. Perfection - Is nothing more than a compete adaptation to the environment; but the environment is constantly changing, so perfection can never be more than transitory.

The true tranquillity and inner peace of yourself lies not in what you have, but in what you are...Nothing should be able to harm you, but yourself. Nothing should be able to rob you at all. What you really are, is what is in you. What is outside of you, should be a matter of no importance. You know, you feel and act, you have emotion, intellect and will. You must develop head, heart and hand, you must have integral development. Then alone you can have the tranquillity of inner peace. All things are already complete in us.

What would it be like if you lived each day, each breath, as a work of art in progress? Imagine that you are a Masterpiece unfolding, every second of every day a work of art taking form with every breath.

If you must begin then go all the way, because if you begin and quit the unfinished business you have left behind will haunt you for all of time. It's like getting onto a train you can't get off. The ride goes on and on.

When a little bubble of joy appears in your sea of life, take hold of it and keep it to your heart. Nurture it and it will grow. Keep hold of the bubble until it breaks it's confining walls and becomes a sea of happiness.

Life is like a motor car. A motor car can be used to travel to great heights. But most people lie in front of it, allow it to drive over them, then blame it for the accident.

Suppose you never heard anything by accident? Suppose there was a reason behind everything everyone is saying to you? Suppose there was only one Mind, the Universal Mind, and it was doing nothing all day but speaking to you. Would this affect the ways of your criticism?

Most decisions, possibly all, have already been made on some deeper level and you going through a reasoning process to arrive at that seems at least redundant. The question, What do I want to do? may be a fearful reaction to the subconscious of the decisions you have already made.

Love who you are and what you are and what you do. Laugh at yourself and at life, and nothing can touch you. It's all temporary anyway. Next lifetime you will do it differently anyway, so why not do it differently now?

When one door closes another opens. Expect that new door to reveal even greater wonders and glories and susprises. Feel yourself grow with every experience. And look for the reason for it.

Everybody finds their own doorway to walk through. Each doorway you walk through will bring you into a new space of Being. As you create new spaces to walk onto, stand for a moment in the doorway and review the scene behind you then turn and for a moment be awe inspired with the wonder of the new space you have created to play into. At least give yourself that moment.

We grow great by dreams. We are all dreamers. We see things in a soft haze of a spring day or in the red fire of a long winter's evening. Some of us let our dreams die, but others nourish and protect them, nurse them through bad days until you bring them to sunshine and light.

Falling in love is actually a powerful experience of feeling the Universe move through you. The other person has become a channel for you, a catalyst that triggers you to open up to the love, beauty and compassion within.

Be gentle with yourself. If you will not be your own unconditional friend, who will be? If you are playing an opponent and you are opposing yourself-you are going to be outnumbered.

Humility is the acceptance of the possibility that someone else can teach you something else you do not know about yourself. Conversely, pride and arrogance, close the door of the mind.

Don't exclude yourself from precious moments, warm encounters, beautiful attitudes, majestic discoveries, flowing intimacies and sensory development for these are the jewels placed in the crown of your destiny.

Everthing is out there waiting for you. All you have to do is walk up and declare yourself in. No need for permission. You just need courage to say, include me. Providing you have the energy to pull it off you can do what you like. And the Universal Law, being impartial, will be only too delighted to deliver.

This is your life and nobody is going to teach you, no book, no guru. Learn from yourself, not from books. It is an endless thing and when you learn about yourself from yourself. Out of learning wisdom comes. Then you can live a most extraordinary, happy, beautiful life.

When will you learn that nothing is impossible when you follow your inner guidance, even when it's direction may threaten you by reversing your usual logic.

Say to yourself, I am me. In all the world there is no one else exactly like me. There are some who have parts like me, but no one adds up exactly like me. Therefore, everything that comes out of me is authentically mine because I alone chose it.

You are here for a purpose. There is no duplicate of you in the whole world. There never has been, There never will be. You are brought here now to fill a certain need. Take time to think that over.

We are all on a spiral path. No growth takes place in a straight line. There will be setbacks along the way...There will be shadows, but they will be balanced by patches of light and fountain's of joy as we grow and progress. Awareness of the pattern is all you need to sustain you along the way...

Until though is linked with purpose, there is no intelligent accomplishment. With the majority, the bark of thought is allowed to drift upon the ocean of life. We should conceive a legitiment of purpose in our hearts, and set out to accomplish it.

The rich substance of the universe is yours to do as you wish. Why settle for so little in life when you can have so much, just by daring to be different in your thinking.

What is right for one soul may not be right for an other. It may mean having to stand on your own and do something strange in the eyes of others. But do not be daunted. Do whatever it is because you know within it is right for you.

To try to risk failure. But risk must be taken because the greatest hazard of life is to risk nothing. If you risk nothing you do nothing, you have nothing, you are nothing. You may avoid the suffering and sorrow, but you simply cannot learn, feel, change, grow, live, and love.

The things you believe in are the baggage you carry with you in your life. The true sage believes in nothing, other than the sacredness of all things. He lives in spontaneity of energy. He defends nothing nor judges anything. His world is eternal and infinite, he sees beauty in all things and he accepts the ways of man, including restriction and strife. He knows that without costraint there would be no challenges.

Life was never meant to be a struggle, just a gentle progression from one point to another, much like walking through a valley on a sunny day.
