The Best Course

Whatever is destined not to happen
will not happen, try as you may.
Whatever is destined to happen
will happen, do what you may to
prevent it. This is certain.
The best course, therefore,
is to remain silent.

Ramana Maharshi

You're the One

A teacher of fear can't bring peace on earth.
We have been trying to do it that way for
thousands of years. The person who turns
inner violence around, the person who finds
peace inside and lives it, is the one who teaches
what true peace is. We are waiting for just
one teacher, You're the one.

Byron Katie

No Place

If you ain't where you are,
you're no place.

Colonel Sherman T. Potter, M*A*S*H

Covert Aggressives

It's not that they don't see,
it's that they disagree.
It's not that they're not aware enough,
it's that they don't care enough.

George Simon

Safety

Safety is not the absence of threat,
it is the presence of connection.

Gabor Mate

Truth Remains

What is religion? A cloud in the sky.
I live in the sky, not in the clouds,
which are so many words held together.
Remove the verbiage and what remains?
Truth remains.

Nisargadatta Maharaj

My Life Flows

When I look inside and see that
I am nothing, that is wisdom.
When I look outside and see that
I am everything, that is love.
And between these two, my life flows.

Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj
