Mindfulness quote: Human life

2- You suffer what happened ten years ago, and you suffer what may happen the day after tomorrow. Both are not living truths. They are simply a play of your memory and imagination.

3- I realize that I never thought about what I wanted to become in life. I only thought about how I wanted to live my life. And I knew that the “how” could only be determined within me and by me.

4- When people say “life”, they mean the accessories of life - their work, family, relationships, the homes they live in, the cars they drive, the clothes they wear, or the gods they pray to. The one thing they miss is life- the life process itself, the essential life that is you.

5- You don't raise human beings. You have to cultivate a human being by giving space, love, and support so that a human being grows.

Mindfulness quote: Selfhood

7- If you draw yourself a boundary, whether of ideology, caste, creed, race, or religion, you cannot move beyond it and you end up stuck for no reason at all.

8- Everything that you know as “myself” is just an accumulation. Your body is an accumulation of food. Your mind is an accumulation of impressions gathered through the 5 senses. What you accumulate can be yours, but it can never be you.

Mindfulness quote: Oneness & Interbeing

10- This very earth is my body. I take this body from the earth and I give it back to the earth.

11- If you truly have to create solutions that are relevant for all, an experience of absolute inclusiveness has to happen to humanity. And it is possible.

12- What the trees around you are exhaling, you are inhaling right now. Whether you are aware of it or not, one half of your pulmonary system is hanging up there on a tree. But if you had experienced this connection, would anyone have to tell you “ plant trees, protect the forests”? Would it even be necessary?

13- Your physical existence is possible only because of your body’s ability to respond to the entire universe.

14- The cosmos is just one big organism. Your life is not independent of it. You cannot live without the world because there is a very deep moment-to moment transaction between the two of you.

Mindfulness quote: Self-Awareness

16- The body is like an antenna. If you hold it in the right position, it becomes receptive to all there is in existence.

17- Unleashing human potential is not about reaching the peak. It is a trajectory, a combination of a certain amount of time and energy.

18- What happens in the world, there are many forces involved. And what happens within me, it's 100% ME.

19- The very existence that traps you also sustains you. This is the paradox of the life process. Love and hate, freedom and entrapment, life and death are all encapsulated in each other.

20- The body is the most sophisticated piece of machinery on this planet. It embodies the highest level of mechanics, the highest level of electronics, and the most sophisticated electrical circuit you can imagine.

Mindfulness quote: Freedom

22- There is something within every human being that dislikes boundaries that is longing to become boundless. Human nature is such that we always yearn to be something more than what we are right now. No matter how much we achieve, we still want to be something more.

Mindfulness quote: Well-being

24- Well-being is a deep sense of pleasantness within. If your body feels pleasant, we call this health. If it becomes very pleasant, we call it pleasure. If your mind becomes pleasant, we call this peace. If it becomes very pleasant, we call this joy. If your emotions become pleasant, we call this love. If they become very pleasant, we call this compassion.

25- The only thing that stands between you and your well-being is a simple fact: you have allowed your thoughts and emotions to take instruction from the outside rather than the inside.

Mindfulness quote: Act of kindness

27- You may consider yourself a good person, but if you don’t water your garden, will it flower? You need to do the right things if you want results.

Mindfulness quote: Life experience

29- Human experience may be stimulated or catalyzed by external situations, but the source is within. Pain or pleasure, joy or misery, agony or ecstasy, happens only inside you.

30- You come into this world with nothing, and you go empty-handed. The wealth of life lies only in how you have allowed its experiences to enrich you.

31- Only a person who knows what it is to work understands rest. Paradoxically, those who are always resting know no rest.

32- The bitterness or sweetness of any experience is not in the event itself, but in how you perceive to respond to it. What is a very bitter experience for one person could be a blessing for another.

Mindfulness quote: Mother-Earth

 

Mindfulness quote: Happiness & Love

35- Most people think peace and joy are the goals of the spiritual life. This is a fallacy. Peace and joy are the basic requirements for a life of well-being.

36- Making your inner life blissful is something that everyone is capable of. It cannot be denied to you, if you are willing.

37- To be joyful and peaceful within yourself every moment of your life. These are no superhuman qualities. These are human possibilities.

Mindfulness quote: Responsibility

39- Only if you realize you are responsible do you have the freedom to create yourself the way you want to be, not as a reaction to the situations in which you exist.

40- How are you responsible for the violence and injustice in the world? Certainly you are not to blame for any of it. But the moment you become conscious of any of these events, you do respond either in concern, love, care. hate. anger, indignation, or even action.

41- Being responsible is taking ownership of your life. It means you have taken the first radical step to becoming a complete human being, fully conscious and fully human.

Mindfulness quote: Spirituality

43- Unlike biological evolution, which happens without our conscious participation, spiritual evolution can happen consciously. All it takes is willingness.

44- People think spirituality is about looking for god or truth or the ultimate. The problem is you have already defined what you are looking for. It is not the object of your search that is important. It is the faculty of looking.

45- Every moment there are a million miracles happening around you: a flower blossoming, a bird tweeting, a bee humming, a raindrop falling, a snowflake wafting. There is magic everywhere. Life is nothing short of a daily miracle.

Mindfulness quote: Openness

47- The world will never happen 100% your way. It's a little bit my way, a little bit your way, a little bit somebody else's way. That's how the world should be.

48- the seed constantly tries to save itself, a new life is impossible. The seed goes through the tremendous struggle of losing its safety and integrity and becoming vulnerable, in order to grow into a leafy tree, abundant in fruits and flowers. But without that vulnerability, that voluntary openness to transformation, life won’t sprout.

49- This is a living cosmos, if you capture a certain amount of life, your very presence will become a significant life.

50- Conscious response brings you to a profound state of connectedness with life, not as an idea or an emotion, but life as life is.
