Blaming is giving the power over your own life to someone else. It makes you dependent. Blaming someone puts the keys to your own happiness in someone else’s pocket. If you can’t control others, but keep putting the keys to your happiness in other people’s pockets, then you can never be happy. Take back your keys! Put them back in your own pocket!
Matija Matty Biljeskovic
Truth is for earnest seekers, not for those of idle curiosity. It is easy to believe when one sees; there is nothing then to deny. Supersensual truth is deserved and discovered by those who overcome their natural materialistic skepticism.
Lahiri Mahasaya
The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

One step, ascend heaven.

A smooth sea never made a skilled sailor. Soft as a rose petal, hard as a diamond.
