Don't worry. Be happy.

My spiritual teachers, in order of the power of their teachings:

1. People who annoy the shit out of me
2. All other spiritual teachers

People don’t want their lives fixed. Nobody wants their problems solved. Their dramas. Their distractions. Their stories resolved. Their messes cleaned up. Because then what would they have left? Just the big scary unknown

The less you talk, the more they'll listen.

When you make people less afraid to die, then they’re less likely to cling to life at a huge cost to society. After having such a transcendent experience, individuals with terminal illness often show a markedly reduced fear of dying and no longer feel the need to aggressively pursue every last medical intervention available. Instead they become more interested in the quality of their remaining life as well as the quality of their death.

All three actions like creation, existence and dissolution are running within this human body. A mother says, ‘My child becomes 6 days old’. What does it mean? He approaches 6 days towards death. Everything is predestined for a man’s life cycle. A man is born – creation; lives – Existence; and approaches towards death – Dissolution. These three things are running within a man since his birth to death.

The esoteric meaning is like this : Visualization of Atma or Soul within the body – creation; seeing universe within the Atma – Existence; to dissolve in infinity – Dissolution.

Never say anything which doesn't improve on silence.

One of the foundations of faith is the lack of it - the disbelief. It's very important. Firm belief is a bit unreal. That leads to religious fanaticism. Doubt is inseparable from Christianity. With every figure in the bible you find doubt - Abraham, Moses, all the kings and the apostles. Even Jesus doubted. So isn't it funny how religions - especially Christian institutions in the US - have eliminated all doubt? They don't understand how important it is to doubt.

A friendship, like any relationship works like a machine. The goal is to maintain a well oiled and fully functioning machine, through proper communication and time spent with one another this machine may even evolve into a far greater machine than you had ever imagined. If a problem arises between the two in the relationship it as if a rock is thrown into the gears of the machine, in turn causing the machine to become damaged. If the rock is large enough it may bind up the machine and render it useless until the obtrusion has been handled. Even the slightest grain of sand in the machine's gears may cause friction overtime, if left un-dealt with, leading to the corrosion and wearing out of the gears. Most often with time and proper care the machine may be fixed and brought back to it's original flawless and properly oiled working state. Yet unfortunately other times the machine may have damage caused to it that even the most skilled individual, and even the hand of time can not manage to fix.

In our time humans are caught up being only focused on our differences. Therefore everything we stand for will be from that perspective. These differences are labels and sets up a “them and us” scenario and a disconnectedness from each other. Our society’s polarized approach to life brings us into conflict with ourselves rather than approaching life and seeing our interconnectedness and similarities. Human kind is enslaved by itself.
