“You find peace not by rearranging the circumstances of your life, but by realizing who you are at the deepest level.” Eckhart Tolle

“The knower aware of the known is always miserable, whether obviously or secretly so. The knower that stably knows itself – the pure knower – is always happy and untouched. He has no wants from this world; he is complete in viewing his own essence.”  Bentinho Massaro

“As long as there is a belief that someone has a choice, blame is inevitable. It’s not until you fully recognize through your own internal questioning of thought that you come to realize there is no one to blame.”  Rita Friedman

“Between the stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space lies our freedom and our power to choose our response.  In our response lies our growth and our happiness.”  Viktor Frankl

We are conditioned towards what is obvious, glaring, and noisy – whether it’s something on the outside or something on the inside. We’re not so much taught to value things that aren’t noisy – the things that aren’t trying to grab our attention.  Silence is the deepest teacher, it’s the deepest teaching – that’s what gives you access to the deeper dimension of being.”  Adyashanti

“Going out of your mind at least once a day is tremendously important. Because by going out of your mind, you come to your senses.”  Alan Watts

“When there is peace in your mind you will find peace with everybody. If your mind is agitated, you will find agitation everywhere.  So first find peace within and you will see this inner peace reflected everywhere else. You are this peace.  You are happiness, find out.  Where else will you find peace if not within you?  Papaji

“Let this become your key – next time when anger comes, just watch it. Don’t say ‘I am angry’ say rather ‘Anger is there; I am watching it.’ And see the difference!  The difference is vast.” Osho

The sky does not have to exist without clouds to be a pure sky.” Mooji

“Other than inquiry, there are no adequate means to make the mind permanently subside. If the mind is controlled through other means, it will appear to be controlled, but will rise again.  Through regulation of breath, the mind will become calm; but it will remain calm only as long as the breath remains controlled.  When the breath is no longer regulated, the mind will become active and start wandering.”  Sri Ramana Maharshi
