We all like to put up a fight against anything we dislike on the evening news as we spectate the world. But we forget that when we decide we will resist something or somebody, either mentally or physically, we only empower the object of our resistance, either in reality or in our own minds. If you want to enjoy the ability to influence, always start with acceptance. If you want to disarm another begin with acceptance.

You cant just accept it and leave it in the cupboard or just think its going to get on by itself. You've got to keep watering it. You've got to really look after it and nurture it. ” “ Dogs don't love people, they love the place where they are fed ” “ What does love look like? It has the hands to help others.

Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal.

Do you remember the energy and enthusiasm you had on the first day of your first job? You consciously chose to do the work you had gladly accepted to do. But then you gradually fell asleep to the choice you made, and the day became "I have to" go to work, instead of "I want to" go to work. You forgot to see all the opportunities which come with work - opportunities like learning, nourishing and being nourished by others, developing new relationships, expanding your personal capacity. Instead you decided it was just something that you had to do to 'get the money'. This is why most people are sleep-walking through their lives, and they dont know it. The solution, choose your work every day, put the energy of love into your relationships...every day, even if you dont particularly like your job or the people around you. And you'll be amazed at how your life transforms. When you choose to put love into what you do, the universe will move heaven and hell to let you do what you love. ” “ Nothing is more important than reconnecting with your bliss. Nothing is as rich. Nothing is more real. ” “ To be creative means to be in love with life. You can be creative only if you love life enough that you want to enhance its beauty, you want to bring a little more music to it, a little more poetry to it, a little more dance to it. ” “ The power of absolute love is a raging fire of uncontainable majesty that consumes any and all who come too close to its flames. That fire burns wildly, aware only of itself. That is why the wholehearted and very conscious participation in the entire process of self purification is always such an integral part of spiritual evolution and transformation. Indeed, in most cases, the extraordinary leap that profound surrender always is will not occur free from the corrupting influence of ego unless our conscious participation in our own purification is intense and deeply committed. What is so miraculous, though, is the powerful recognition that that participation in the process of our own transformation is that raging fire of absolute love in action, moving in our own hearts and minds as the desire for Liberation itself. ” “ A compassionate person develops an eye for spotting the qualities that make each person special. Even when others are at their lowest ebb, it is possible to help them restore their self-belief by keeping a firm, clear vision of their goodness and specialities. Taking a gently encouraging approach, I must never give up on anyone. ” “ I believe in God, but not as one thing, not as an old man in the sky. I believe that what people call God is something in all of us. I believe that what Jesus and Mohammed and Buddha and all the rest said was right. Its just that the translations have gone wrong. ” “ Create thoughts and words that give only happiness. The world is filled with worry and sorrow. Do something different. ” “ What is done out of love always takes place beyond good and evil. ” “ To handle yourself, use your head; to handle others, use your heart. ” “ I love life in spite of all that mars it. I love friendship, jokes and laughter. ” “ Love blinds us to peoples faults but dislike blinds us to their virtues. ” “ But let there be spaces in your togetherness and let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. ” “ The creation of something new is not accomplished by the intellect but by the play instinct acting from inner necessity. The creative mind plays with the objects it loves. ” “ Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them humanity cannot survive. ” “ Love sees as a child sees ” “ Love is the only bow on lifes dark cloud. It is the Morning and the Evening Star. It shines upon the cradle of the babe, and sheds its radiance upon the quiet tomb. It is the mother of Art, inspirer of poet, patriot, and philosopher. It is the air and light of every heart, builder of every home, kindler of every fire on every hearth. It was the first to dream of immortality. It fills the world with melody, for Music is the voice of Love. Love is the magician, the enchanter, that changes worthless things to joy, and makes right royal kings and queens of common clay. It is the perfume of the wondrous flower -- the heart and without that sacred passion, that divine swoon, we are less than beasts; but with it, earth is heaven and we are gods. ” “ Love yourself and you will be in balance and good health. ” “ I am certainly not an authority on love because there are no authorities on love, just those who've had luck with it and those who haven't. ” “ Have a heart that is filled with everything precious - love, truth and peace. ” “ The princes among us are those who forget themselves and serve mankind... ” “ Just as love is an orientation which refers to all objects and is incompatible with the restriction to one object, so is reason a human faculty which must embrace the whole of the world with which man is confronted. ” “ I don't think of all the misery but of the beauty that still remains. ” “ Falling in love you remain a child; rising in love you mature. By and by love becomes not a relationship, it becomes a state of your being.

We feel comfortable doing things which add quality and beauty to life. ” “ Forgiveness and tolerance are the hands of God in action. We need to join our hands with Gods and learn and do the same. ” “ The love we give away is the only love we keep. ” “ Are you ready to cut off your head and place your foot on it? If so, come; Love awaits you! Love is not grown in a garden, nor sold in the marketplace; whether you are a king or a servant, the price is your head, and nothing less. Yes, the cost of the elixir of love is your head! Do you hesitate? 0 miser, It is cheap at that price! ” “ If you are ready to be intimate, you will encourage the other person also to be intimate. Your unpretentious simplicity will allow the other also to enjoy simplicity, innocence, trust, love, openness. ” “ Under the hardest shell, is a person who wants to be appreciated and loved. ” “ Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength; loving someone deeply gives you courage. ” “ Love and kindness are never wasted. They always make a difference. They bless the one who receives them, and they bless you, the giver. ” “ I love being with my children. They're fascinating people. ” “ The problem nowadays is that love is interpreted on a gross level. Just as many people are attracted to the size and glitter of a fake diamond, so are they swayed by false, superficial love. There is no value in either. A real diamond is often quite small, but it is flawless. That is where it's value lies. Real love is like a tiny diamond: it is not flashy and it is without a single flaw. Real love is one hundred percent pure. There is nothing artificial mixed into it. It is clean. There are no ulterior motives in real love. ” “ Love doesn't make the world go round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile. ” “ You dont marry someone you can live with, you marry the person who you cannot live without. ” “ He that falls in love with himself will have no rivals. ” “ Everytime you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing. ” “ If someone thinks that love and peace is a cliche that must have been left behind in the Sixties, thats his problem. Love and peace are eternal. ” “ One is loved because one is loved. No reason is needed for loving. ” “ Love feels no burden, thinks nothing of trouble, attempts what is above its strength, pleads no excuse of impossibility; for it thinks all things lawful for itself, and all things possible. ” “ You are the light of the world. Let your light shine before others. ” “ If your days seem filled with unwanted negative feelings, there is only one cure. When they come, choose them. Dont ask why, dont wonder how, dont fight them and never put yourself down for having them. But most of all never blame someone else for how you feel. If you do, it means you are still fast asleep and your choice is to be a victim. When the feelings come, even big disturbing emotional feelings say, "I choose this feeling" and know it comes because of something you have thought or done in the past, perhaps a certain belief that you have learned or an attachment that is threatened. Choice does not mean you want the feelings, but it does mean you are taking responsibility for them. And that is the beginning of self mastery. It is the first step to the healing and resolving of your emotions. But only the first step. Try this today and then ask yourself what the next step might be. If you are really interested to know, you will come to know! ” “ When someone lightens up your life just by their presence, you can be sure they are emitting a very positive energy. When someone puts a damper on the meeting or a conversation, you can be sure there is some hidden inner baggage which contains sorrow and darkness. Which do you bring to the party? A little light or a little dark? A lot of optimism or a little pessimism? In olden days, before one switch could illuminate a whole city, one candle had to be lit by another. So if you are aware that you are carrying a little darkness, perhaps it may be useful to spend time with someone whose inner light is already lit, and stays lit in all circumstances. Eventually we may learn the art ourselves, and then serve as a candle to others. ” “ There is only one happiness in life, to love and be loved. ” “ To be loved, be lovable. ” “ Do not think that love, in order to be genuine, has to be extraordinary. What we need is to love without getting tired. ” “ At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet. ” “ Your good wishes and pure feelings, your vibrations of peace and love, can once again bring harmony in nature and happiness in the world. ” “ The moment you have in your heart this extraordinary thing called love and feel the depth, the delight, the ecstasy of it, you will discover that for you the world is transformed. ” “ Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies. ” “ Love is union with somebody, or something, outside oneself, under the condition of retaining the separateness and integrity of one's own self. ” “ In love the paradox occurs that two beings become one and yet remain two. ” “ We can experience exctasy as long we believe in love. ” “ Unbroken love and tireless effort leads to success. ” “ Time, wealth and co-operation are readily given when there is love. ” “ Love is the beauty of the soul. ” “ Love one another and help others to rise to the higher levels, simply by pouring out love. Love is infectious and the greatest healing energy. ” “ Don't forget to love yourself. ” “ It is a curious thought, but it is only when you see people looking ridiculous that you realize just how much you love them. ” “ Everyone has inside of him a piece of good news. The good news is that you don't know how great you can be! How much you can love! What you can accomplish! And what your potential is! ” “ Generosity means more than just giving. It also means to cooperate with others. The greatest act of generosity is to see beyond the weaknesses and mistakes of others, helping them to recognise their innate value. ” “ An understanding heart is everything is a teacher, and cannot be esteemed highly enough. One looks back with appreciation to the brilliant teachers, but with gratitude to those who touched our human feeling. The curriculum is so much necessary raw material, but warmth is the vital element for the growing plant and for the soul of the child. ” “ To forgive and forget is to reflect love. Situations pass, they cease to exist, but they continue to be alive in the mind. Open your heart and be generous, free yourself from that sorrow, forgive and forget and you will live every moment in peace. ” “ Look for beauty and goodness in everyone you meet. ” “ When love is strong, personalities don't need to impress, for love in itself is impressive. ” “ Despite everything, I believe that people are really good at heart. ” “ Teaching others is best done with love, once the heart has understood, the mind opens. ” “ Never pretend to a love which you do not actually feel, for love is not ours to command. ” “ Love is a promise, love is a souvenir, once given never forgotten, never let it disappear. ” “ Stay close by the door, if you desire all beauty And leave aside sleep, if you wish to arrive And make of the spirit your first place of account. To the beloved, whose lights shine as from gold All of them worship out of fear of the fire. And consider deliverance abundant good fortune - Or, so they may dwell in the gardens, and reach. To the meadows of paradise, and there drink from its rivers. Of gardens or fire I have no opinion. I seek no exchange for my dearest love. ” “ Acceptance gives me the experience of being like an angel: never judging, never criticising and never worrying. ” “ Let my eyes be a mirror for others, reflecting only the best and finest qualities. ” “ The cure for all ills and wrongs, the cares, the sorrows and the crimes of humanity, all lie in the one word LOVE. It is the divine vitality that everywhere produces and restores life. ” “ As you move above to the fourth center - that is the heart - your whole life becomes a sharing of love. The third center has created the abundance of love. By reaching to the third center in meditation, you have become so overflowing with love, with compassion, and you want to share. It happens at the fourth center, the heart. Thats why even in the ordinary world people think love comes out of the heart. For them it is just hearsay, they have heard it; they dont know it because they have never reached to their heart. But the meditator finally reaches to the heart. As he has reached to the center of his being - the third center - suddenly an explosion of love and compassion and joy and blissfulness and benediction has arisen in him with such a force that it hits his heart and opens the heart. The heart is just in the middle of all your seven centers - three centers below, three centers above. You have come exactly to the middle. ” “ Love dissolves hate. Kindness melts cruelty. Compassion calms passion. Cooperation evokes love and when we flex, others bend. This creates harmony. ” “ Be happy and be loving. ” “ A compassionate person develops an eye for spotting the qualities that make each person special. Even when others are at their lowest ebb, it is possible to help them restore their self-belief by keeping a firm, clear vision of their goodness and specialities. Taking a gently encouraging approach, I must never give up on anyone. ” “ Many marriages would be better if the husband and the wife clearly understood that they are on the same side. ” “ You are not accidental. Existence needs you. Without you something will be missing in existence and nobody can replace it. Thats what gives you dignity, that the whole existence will miss you. The stars and sun and moon, the trees and birds and earth - everything in the universe will feel a small place is vacant which cannot be filled by anybody except you. This gives you a tremendous joy, a fulfillment that you are related to existence, and existence cares for you. Once you are clean and clear, you can see tremendous love falling on you from all dimensions. ” “ I have found the paradox that if I love until it hurts, then there is no hurt, but only more love. ” “ Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness Kindness in giving creates love. ” “ You learn to speak by speaking, to study by studying, to run by running, to work by working; in just the same way, you learn to love by loving. ” “ These three things are to be taken note of: the lowest love is sex - it is physical - and the highest refinement of love is compassion. Sex is below love, compassion is above love; love is exactly in the middle. Very few people know what love is. Ninety-nine percent of people, unfortunately, think sexuality is love - it is not. Sexuality is very animal; it certainly has the potential of growing into love, but it is not actual love, only a potential.... If you become aware and alert, meditative, then sex can be transformed into love. And if your meditativeness becomes total, absolute, love can be transformed into compassion. Sex is the seed, love is the flower, compassion is the fragrance. Buddha has defined compassion as love plus meditation. When your love is not just a desire for the other, when your love is not only a need, when your love is a sharing, when your love is not that of a beggar but an emperor, when your love is not asking for something in return but is ready only to give - to give for the sheer joy of giving - then add meditation to it and the pure fragrance is released. That is compassion; compassion is the highest phenomenon. ” “ But my experience is that people who have been through painful, difficult times are filled with compassion. ” “ Love can never be exclusive. The sun does not choose to shine on some flowers in the garden and not others. Love is inclusive and has many faces - caring, listening, sharing from the heart, just accepting someone for what they are right now, are all acts of love, as long as you seek nothing in return. It all starts with acceptance of yourself - you're just fine as you are right now, warts and all. Its not that you will stay that way for ever - but you might, if you dont accept. The secret key to the greatest door called love is acceptance. First your self, then others (especially the ones you currently resist) and eventually ...all. ” “ May you be a great soul and perform every act as a special act worthy to be remembered. A great soul is one whose every thought and every act is great. Not a single thought should be ordinary or wasteful. No action should be ordinary or meaningless. ” “ Blessed is the influence of one true, loving human soul on another. ” “ Love like your life depends on it, cozz it does. ” |
