The only thing worse than feeling that you are going to die is the realization that you probably won't.
Mask your brightness. Be at one with the dust of the earth. This is primal union.
Watch your thoughts, they become words. Watch your words, they become actions. Watch your actions, they become habit.
Care about what other people think and you will always be their prisoner.
If you want to awaken all of humanity, then awaken all of yourself, if you want to eliminate the suffering in the world, then eliminate all that is negative in yourself. Truly, the greatest gift you have to give is that of your own self-transformation.
Success is as dangerous as failure. Hope is as hollow as fear. What does it mean that success is a dangerous as failure? Whether you go up the ladder or down it, you position is shaky. When you stand with your two feet on the ground, you will always keep your balance. What does it mean that hope is as hollow as fear? Hope and fear are both phantoms that arise from thinking of the self. When we don't see the self as self, what do we have to fear? See the world as your self. Have faith in the way things are. Love the world as your self; then you can care for all things.
