The way we perceive our problems - perceive being the key word -, and the import

ance
we give to them, determines how we will deal with them.
Why? Because the world is a reflection of our mind.
We cannot choose our external circumstances, but we can always choose how to res
pond
to them.

When you're a beautiful person on the inside, there is nothing in the world that
can
change that about you. Jealousy is the result of one's lack of self-confidence,
self-worth, and self-acceptance. The Lesson: If you can't accept yourself, then
certainly
no one else will.
To cure jealousy is to see it for what it is, a dissatisfaction with self

Good to forgive--
Best to forget.

i realize the pain they must be in to behave in such a manner,

and i can offer my silent wishes that they be healed

I said that we do everything without awareness, in a sort of sleep."USE AWARENES

S"

Your awareness is not there where you are. Then what is left when there is no aw
areness?
There is sleep, and all the disturbances happen in that sleep. When you were an
gry
with someone, do you remember where was your awareness? If there had been awarenes
s,
anger would have been impossible. Awareness and anger cannot co exist. Anger
is not possible with awareness. For anger, sleep is needed, intoxication is need
ed.

i am peacefull and in control of myself in every situation of my life

nothing worth more than you so you don't have to punish you
feeling guilt, worry, uncozy for anything
As human beings we all want to be happy and free from misery...
we have learned that the key to happiness is inner peace. The greatest obstacles
to inner peace are disturbing emotions such as anger, attachment, fear and susp
icion,
while love and compassion and a sense of universal responsibility are the sourc
es
of peace and happiness.

selfawareness is much better than selfcontrol

Unforgiveness is the poison you drink every day

hoping that the other person will die.

The quality of our current life is dependent upon previous thoughts and actions
in this life. We are not our bodies, we are mind and eternal.

When you are offended at any man's fault,

turn to yourself and study your own failings.
Then you will forget your anger.

Always aim at complete harmony of thought and word and deed.

Always aim at purifying your thoughts and everything will be well.

Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.

Hate the sin, love the sinner.

THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION IN OUR LIFE!!

Please do not assume even for a moment that absolute happiness can ever be real.

All we can do is to maximize the state of happiness.

Happiness must be differentiated from the feeling of joy which is a positive emo
tion.
Happiness is no emotion. It is simply a balanced mind without disturbance.
Obviously what we need to do is to keep on identifying and removing or avoiding
whatever disturbs our mind. We can begin with small small things like a friend w
ho
is insensitive, a shopkeeper who is always in bad temper etc. etc.
Soon we would realize that outside objects are only catalysts .... the real caus
e of
disturbance really lies within ourselves.
After considerable thought, analysis and delving deeper into insight through med
itation,
it has been established that the root cause is our ego... the 'ME' and the 'MINE
'.......
every bit of unhappiness or imbalance/disturbance of mind can be traced to this
ego.
I believe that in our lifetime, we can not completely get rid of ego. It appears
to
me that the best way is to try and reduce its impact on our thinking and actions
by reminding ourselves all the time how small and minuscule we are in this grea
t
grand diverse universe, the multidimensional colossus in which we are like a no
dimension
point or zero. This thought can moderate us in our egocentric thinking and acti
ons.
