RECOGNIZE THAT UNLEARNING IS THE HIGHEST FORM OF LEARNING. RUMI
TOO MUCH ATTENTION TO EXTERNALS BLOCKS THE WAY TO IMMEDIATE INNER EXPERIENCE. CARL JUNG
ALBERT SCHWEITZER 1875-1965 “Reverence for Life””African Notebook”.
“The Jesus of Nazareth who came forward publicly as the Messiah, who preached the ethic of the kingdom of God, who founded the kingdom of heaven upon earth & died to give his work its final consecration never existed. He is a figure designed by rationalism, endowed with life by liberalism & clothed by modern theology in a historical Garb.”
WE SHOULD ALL BE THANKFUL FOR THOSE PEOPLE WHO REKINDLE THE INNER SPIRIT.
SUCCESS is not the key to happiness. happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.
THE PURPOSE OF HUMAN LIFE is to serve and to show compassion and the will to help others.
EVENTUALLY all things fall into place. until then, laugh at the confusion, live for the moments and know EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON.
UNTIL WE EXTEND our circle of compassion to all living things, humanity will not find peace.
A GOOD EXAMPLE HAS TWICE THE VALUE OF GOOD ADVICE.
THE ONLY THING OF IMPORTANCE, when we depart, will be the traces of love we have left behind.
IF you own something you cannot give away, then you don’t own it, it owns you.
I DON’T KNOW what your destiny will be but one thing I know: the only ones among you who will be really happy are those who will have sought and found how to serve.
HAPPINESS IS THE ONLY THING THAT MULTIPLIES WHEN YOU SHARE IT.
AT THAT POINT IN LIFE where your talent meets the needs of the world, that is where God wants you to be.
THE PATH OF AWAKENING is not about becoming who you are. Rather it is about unbecoming who you are not.
REMEMBER, you don’t live in a world all of your own.
THE AWARENESS that we are all human beings together has become lost in war and through politics.
THE INTERIOR JOY we feel when we have done a good deed is the nourishment the soul requires.
IN THE HOPES of reaching the moon men fail to see the flowers that blossom at their feet.
CONSTANT KINDNESS can accomplish much. As the sun makes ice melt, kindness causes misunderstanding, mistrust & hostility to evaporate.
SINCERITY IS THE FOUNDATION OF THE SPIRITUAL LIFE.
HAPPINESS IS NOTHING MORE THAN GOOD HEALTH & A BAD MEMORY.
DO SOMETHING GOOD AND SOMEONE MIGHT IMITATE IT.
THERE ARE TWO means of refuge from the miseries of life: music and cats.
TRAIN YOURSELF never to put off the word or action for the expression of gratitude.
THINK OCCASIONALLY of the suffering of which you spare yourself the sight.
DO NOT LOSE HEART, even if you must wait a bit before finding the right thing. Be prepared for disappointment also but do not abandon the quest.
THE TRUE worth of a man is not to be found in man himself but in the colors and textures that come alive in others.
LIFE becomes harder for us when we live for others but it also becomes richer & happier.
