Operate from love

Do not let your fears run your life. Operate from love. You will be able to do your best and live in accordance with the law of nature. Whatever comes will look like a blessing. ~ Satish Kaku

Ignorance

“The highest form of ignorance is when you reject something you don’t know anything about.” ~ Wayne Dyer

Limitation of sight

"Life is eternal; and love is immortal; and death is only a horizon; and a horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight." ~ Rossiter W. Raymond

Belief

“A belief is not an idea held by the mind, it is an idea that holds the mind” ~ Elly Roselle

Painting your life

At birth, your life was a plain canvas.
Your potential is the colours.
Your choices are the strokes on the canvas.

At death, this canvas
will either be a treasured masterpiece
or an unnoticed scribbling.

That would be the judgment day
on how good a painter you were
in painting your life.
Excerpted from ‘Unposted Letter’ by T.T. Ranga Rajan

Immense silence

"The present has nothing to do with time. If you are just here in this moment, there is no time. There is immense silence, stillness, no movement; nothing is passing, everything has come to a sudden stop." ~ Osho

Live totally and intensely

"Live totally, and live intensely, so that each moment becomes golden and your whole life becomes a series of golden moments." ~ Osho

Attitude toward Death

Live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart.
Trouble no one about his religion.
Respect others in their views
and demand that they respect yours.
Love your life, perfect your life,
beautify all things in your life.
Seek to make your life long
and of service to your people.
Prepare a noble death song for the day
when you go over the great divide.
Always give a word or sign of salute when meeting
or passing a friend, or even a stranger, if in a lonely place.
Show respect to all people, but grovel to none.
When you rise in the morning, give thanks for the light,
for your life, for your strength.
Give thanks for your food and for the joy of living.
If you see no reason to give thanks,
the fault lies in yourself.
When your time comes to die, be not like those
whose hearts are filled with fear of death,
so that when their time comes they weep and pray
for a little more time to live their lives over again
in a different way.
Sing your death song, and die like a hero going home.

~ The Teaching of Tecumseh

On death

"You would know the secret of death. But how shall you find it unless you seek it in the heath of life? The owl whose night-bound eyes are blind unto the day cannot unveil the mystery of light. If you would indeed behold the spirit of death, open your heart wide unto the body of life. For life and death are one, even as the river and sea are one." Excerpted from 'The Prophet' by Kahlil Gibran

Right time

"When we don’t learn lessons at the right time, nature will compel us to learn the same lessons at a wrong time."

The dead have peace...

The dead they sleep a long, long sleep;
The dead they rest, and their rest is deep;
The dead have peace, but the living weep.
~Samuel Hoffenstein

Peace my heart...

Peace, my heart, let the time for the parting be sweet.
Let it not be a death but completeness.
Let love melt into memory and pain into songs.
Let the flight through the sky end in the folding of the wings over the nest.
Let the last touch of your hands be gentle like the flower of the night.
Stand still, O Beautiful End, for a moment, and say your last words in silence.
I bow to you and hold up my lamp to light you on your way.
~ Rabindranath Tagore

Be the change

“We must be the change we wish to see in the world.” ~ Mahatma Gandhi

Acquire silence

"Train the mind to acquire silence because if the mind is silent, there is a great possibility of clarity on the thoughts."

What rules?

"There is no definition for a good day or a bad day, it all depends on us and our thoughts that whether we rule the day or the day rules us."

Do good

Life is like echo, all comes back, the Good, the Bad, the False, the True…
So, give the world the best you have and the best will surely come back!

Know nothing

“The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.” ~ Socrates

"To find yourself, think for yourself” ~ Socrates

Truth

"Do not be angry with me if I tell you the truth” ~ Socrates

The richest

“He is the richest who is content with the least” ~ Socrates
