If you want to simplify your life, meditation is the answer. If you want to fulfil your life, meditation is the answer. If you want to have joy and offer joy to the world at large, then meditation is the only answer.

The quality of one's life depends on the quality of attention. Whatever you pay attention to will grow more important in your life. There is no limit to the kinds of changes that awareness can produce.

Carry your heart through this world like a life-giving sun.

Dying to your own attachments is a beautiful death. Because this death releases you into real life. You have to die as a seed to live as a tree.

If we are in tune with the fundamental laws of nature, we will enjoy the process of life. Otherwise, suffering is inevitable.

If you want money more than anything, you'll be bought and sold your whole life.

We are People who need to love, because Love is the soul's life, Love is simply creation's greatest joy.

Life and death are one thread, the same line viewed from different sides.

As the soul is the life of the body, so God is the life of the soul. As therefore the body perishes when the soul leaves it, so the soul dies when God departs from it.

He who sincerely seeks his real purpose in life is himself sought by that purpose. As he concentrates on that search a light begins to clear his confusion, call it revelation, call it inspiration, call it what you will. It is mistrust that misleads. Sincerity leads straight to the goal.

Live and allow others to live; hurt no one; life is dear to all living beings.

Moth: I gave you my life. Flame: I allowed you to kiss me.

Because of your smile, you make life more beautiful.

The cure for all the illness of life is stored in the inner depth of life itself, the access to which becomes possible when we are alone. This solitude is a world in itself, full of wonders and resources unthought of. It is absurdly near; yet so unapproachably distant.

Now I see that if one doesn’t know how to die, one can hardly know how to live—because death is a part of life.

Meditation is acceptance. It is the acceptance of life within us, without us and all around us. Acceptance of life is the beginning of human satisfaction.

Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. — Matthew 7:13-14

There is more to life than food and more to the body than clothing. — Luke 12:23

One thing that these Buddhists have certainly gotten right is that attention to attention is the key to taking control of your mental life.

At the end of our life, we shall all be judged by charity.

The noblest of all studies is the study of what man is and of what life he should live.

Spirituality is the science that teaches us how to achieve peace of mind and supreme satisfaction. Right now we are hankering after many, many things, but nothing we get satisfies us. Spirituality tells us that satisfaction can be found only if we lead a good and divine life—a life of simplicity, purity and humility.

Self-acceptance comes from meeting life's challenges vigorously. Don't numb yourself to your trials and difficulties, nor build mental walls to exclude pain from your life. You will find peace not by trying to escape your problems, but by confronting them courageously. You will find peace not in denial, but in victory.
