We are meant to become an observer of ourselves, watchful of both the content -- and the intent -- of everything arising from our own mind and heart.
You must do in life what you alone have been "created" to do, which doesn't mean that your fate is your destiny; because in fulfilling this responsibility -- of what you have been given to be -- you also realize the possibility of transcending the nature that accompanied you into this life, and whose essence constitutes the possibilities of your character at birth. Consider the seemingly disp...
No one can hope to know the joy of true personal freedom without knowing the truth of spiritual peace. Freedom and peace are as kite and wind; the former remains grounded without the latter.

There is a rare and powerful type of Love that you can experience, even though most people will go their entire lives without ever even suspecting it exists. This Love is different from all others. It is deeper, it has greater healing power, it is more fulfilling, and most important, once it is found, it endures forever. **This Love is nothing less than the Love your heart has always...

One thing is certain: whether in our waking life, or in the dreams that visit our evening's rest, thoughts and feelings fill our every present moment. But just because you can feel or sense all of their diverse characteristics -- such as worry, fear, impatience, courage, or compulsiveness -- doesn't make the "you" that experiences these movements real -- any more than standing under the ca...
