You know more of a road by having traveled it than by all the conjectures and descriptions

in the world.

 

When teaching a patient, along with descriptions of a

procedure or body system,

I have found pictures enhance a patient's understanding.

"Fear is nothing but, a bundle of negative thoughts, counter it with Positive Thoughts" - Baba

"Surrendering the fruits of your action to the Lord is real sacrifice" - Baba

The Secret of Happiness is to be free of fear, Fear is like a toxin that runs through much of our thinking, It feeds on insecurity, feeling of loss, loneliness, inadequacy and attachment" - BKS

Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves

of strength that will endure as long as life lasts. There is

something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of

nature -- the assurance that dawn comes after night, and

spring after winter."

 

"Joy does not simply happen to us. We have to choose joy and

keep choosing it every day."

 

Inspirational Quote:


"A day without laughter is a day wasted."

Strive to increase order and discipline in your life.

Discipline usually means doing the opposite of what you feel

like doing. The easy roads to discipline are setting

deadlines; discovering and doing what you do best and what's

important and enjoyable to you; focusing on habits by

replacing your bad habits and thought patterns, one-by-one,

over time, with good habits and thought patterns."

What is the difference between desire and longing?

- Desire is desire

for something that is outside you. Desire is objective. Longing is not objective. Longing is for that which wants to explode in you. It is inner, it is subjective. If a rose wants to become a lotus, it is a desire. But if the rose LONGS to become a rose, it is longing. If the seed wants to sprout and become a tree, it is a longing! It is perfectly in order. It is how it should be. But if a seed wants to become a butterfly, it is a desire.

Desire is absurd: longing is existential. Longing is perfectly beautiful: desire is dangerous. And the distinction is very delicate and one has to be very much alert. Longing is opening of the inner: desire is accumulation of the outer. Man desires money: man longs for meditation. Man desires power: man longs for purity. Man desires knowledge: man longs for awareness. Man desires the world: man longs for God.

That which is intrinsic to you is longing. Divert your energies from desire into longing. Desire distracts you from your Tao, from your Dharma, from your nature. Desire takes you astray. It allures you into fantasies which are not possible. It drives you crazy, because it gives you hopes which cannot be fulfilled, which are unfulfillable. Time, energy, life, will be wasted, and in the end only frustration in the hands and in the heart.

Longing is fulfillment. If you want to become a rich man, you are desiring. But if you want to become a sannyasin, it is a longing. Desiring depends on others: in longing there is no need to depend on anybody else. It is your own flowering. It is already there – just it needs the right soil and the right time It is waiting for the spring to come…. Osho

Common sense and a sense of humor are the same thing, moving at different speeds.

A sense of humor is just common sense, dancing.
