If you truly love and accept your sense of humor, everyone else also loves and accepts your sense of humor

Meditating in the morning is like putting on a vacuum cleaning robot. As you go about your work, it diligently keeps moving around and cleaning your home all day, and awareness keeps cleaning the heart and mind all day.
Image
Sometimes, to immediately say "How beautiful!" takes away from fully and completely experiencing the moment of beauty. Everything needn't always be labelled and tagged
Image
Everyone has a good heart, or they wouldn't be alive. There are no bad people, just unskillful thoughts, words and actions. And those can change any minute. Give people the benefit of the doubt.
Image
There are no impure parts of the body. It's all sacred, all just naturally so. Love and accept every part of your body. Tell it, "I'm sorry. Please forgive me. I love you. Thank you."

The real miracle is walking on earth with awareness.

Atleast once today, and everyday make your heart ocean-like in it's compassion for the happiness and wellbeing of every living being. This is what we can learn from the lives of the great ones who have walked among us on this Earth.

Wake up and wholeheartedly intend for a powerful, purposeful and happy day. Wake up and wholeheartedly decide to welcome any and all challenges of the day. Wake up and wholeheartedly intend to be a channel of blessings for someone today.

All matter is condensed light. So our body is also condensed light. So may your life be as smooth and yummy as vanilla soya milk :)

Make a list of a hundred things you want to do before you die. Include several wacky and seemingly improbable things. You will look back at this list in a few years and be very amazed how many came true for you. We are magnificent creators.

The fastest way is grateful patience. Gratitude gets us un-stuck. Patience makes the universe bend backwards.

Only the most appropriate thing is happening each moment.

Meet peoples eyes and smile. Takes a moment to create a friendlier world.

Breath in the suffering you perceive in the world, breathe out complete relief.

Extroverts have a head start for outer accomplishment. Introverts have a head start for inner awakening. In this way the universe balances itself. You come to point where you love being with people and you also cherish being alone. There is only oneness and fun-ness everywhere.
Image
Whatever you find "unacceptable" is the next thing for you to love and accept exactly as it is. Only then will the portals of real change and transformation become visible to you, accessible to you. Before this there is only struggle, after this you are no longer a muggle!
Image
The differences between men and women are mostly imagined. We are are all perfectly aligned and complementary to each other. All of us will benefit from reducing our attachment to gender stereotypes. Children playing harmoniously together on playship earth.
Image
Our journey from religion to spirituality begins when we drop attachment to our favourite words and concepts and sense the underlying essence and unity of all true teachings. It matures when every kind of fear and guilt and regret fades away. It ripens when there is only an ever expanding state of joy and peace always. It is complete when we decide we are complete and can never call ourselves seekers again.

Along with your prescription glasses and sunglasses, also carry your love, laughter, learning and letting go glasses. Put them on any time of the day and see the world through fresh eyes. It's all just lovely, it's all so funny, it's all teaching us, it's all constantly changing. This simple practice corrects our spiritual vision and bestows many new insights. Have a great day!

When its sunny, bask in delight. When it's cloudy, shine your light.

For an extraordinary life, follow your inner compass. For an ordinary life, follow the outer clock.

Disspirited worriers say "Why me?" Spiritual warriors say "Wow me!"
Image
Permanently delete the phrase "Yes, but it's so difficult" from your life. Replace it with "Yes, and it sounds fun and easy". Once you decide, it's real fun and easy to do.
Image
When you stop seeing life as a problem, then there is nothing and no one to fix, and so there is really no problem at all. Nothing to improve, no one to protect or uplift. Everything is done just for the joy of it. The only commitment is to absolute letting go every moment. And each moment is lighter than the previous one.
Image
Recall vividly all the times you served and supported others. It will not built your ego. It will dissolve your ego.
Image
Until they always flow from the heart, let wisdom teachings be close at hand. Read, discuss and reflect on them often. This will completely dispel all mists of illusion approaching you.
Image
The peacock dances when rain approaches. All of nature dances as we return and merge into ourselves.
Image
To live sharply in the present is the ending of choice. The ending of choice is complete rejoice
Image
Every rock is millions of years old. Then it turns into a stalk. Then its eaten and begins to walk. Then it meets others and begins to talk. And finally it listens to rock.
Image
Say "I do" to yourself in the sacred chamber of your soul.

Every life path you choose will be blessed. It has been blessed. It is already blessed. You can't go wrong. So go in peace.

Meditation is folding back into oneself. And then letting mind, heart and life unfold.
Image
Too many people are waiting for the perfect relationship, the perfect bank balance, the perfect health, the perfect job, the perfect achievement, the perfect realization, the perfect time to be happy. They are all sitting on diamonds, yet see only stones, such is their muddied vision.
Image
Once you take care of yourself, you realise the world is also taking care of itself. All anxiety and restlessness fades away.
Image
The sooner you drop comparing yourself with yourself (how you were or could be) and others, the more peaceful and meaningful your life is.
Image
Be light, spread delight, ride like a knight, of great might, into the night, hug your shadows, end the fight, rise like a kite, be bright, understand the world, with your own insight, everything is always alright, move free, merge into light, be light, spread delight
Image
When wanted things happen, take a deep breath and smile. When unwanted things happen, take a deep breath and smile. No matter what happens, take a deep breath and smile.

Whatever we judge and dislike in ourself and in others, sooner or later we are destined to do ourself, and repeat until we realize the deeper order and wisdom in it. Whatever we negate and deny, we don't see clearly. And what we don't see clearly we bump into, again and again.
Image
If you must be skeptical, begin with your own thoughts.
Image
Put world leaders in kindergarten playgrounds with shorts and t-shirts. Let them have some fun together, laugh, cry and hug each other. The world will be a better place.
Image
What we call life is just a larger womb. We are looked after. All is well.
Image
Waves come and go. Leaves fall and grow. That which arises, also passes away. Yet change implies non change. Settle into the vast vacant backdrop. Discern the net which binds all things. Become the water, the root, the fruit.
Image
If you think that you were born and you will die, then you will continue to be born and continue to die. Once realization dawns that there is birth, there is death and it's a process, no personality involved, then everything flows free.
Image
We can comfortably live with a lot less food, talk and sleep than we imagine.
Image
May your life be like fresh mountain breeze. Spreading delight everywhere.

Most of the pleasures of the world are overrated. The real things which bring us joy are priceless, yet underrated.
