(...) if you can change yourself you will find that no other change is needed. To change the picture you merely change the film, you do not attack the cinema screen! (...) Clarify your mind, purify your heart, sanctify your life – this is the quickest way to a change of your world. (Nisargadatta Maharaj)

We need to live life not only for ourselves. Pray quietly for everyone. Do not reject or humiliate anyone. Our thoughts and words have a powerful impact on the world around us. Pray with tears for everyone - for the sick, the weak, for the sinners. Pray for those who have no one to pray for them. View quote

The point is that when I see a sunset or a waterfall or something, for a split second it's so great, because for a little bit I'm out of my brain, and it's got nothing to do with me. I'm not trying to figure it out, you know what I mean? And I wonder if I can somehow find a way to maintain that mind stillness. View quote
