Divine world

Whatever your daily tasks, seek every opportunity to make contact with the world of the spirit, with the divine world, because it is only here, in this world you each carry within you, that you can blossom and find plenitude. The subtle joys of the spiritual world are the only lasting joys, so why spoil them by endlessly lingering too low in the material? This divine world you carry within you is your higher nature, and by identifying with it you give it every opportunity to develop. Then, little by little you will sense that even when you are in darkness and torment you will forever be accompanied by peace and light.

Two dimesions

There are two dimensions to life, and we should be able to touch both.
One is like a wave, and we call it the historical dimension.
The other is like the water, and we call it the ultimate dimension, or nirvana.
We usually touch just the wave,
but when we discover how to touch the water,
we receive the highest fruit that meditation can offer.

few basic things

Always rely on just a happy frame of mind.
Don't think about anything that concerns others.
Abandon all hope of results.

seeking - finding ...

When someone is seeking it happens quite easily
that he only sees the thing that he is seeking;
that he is unable to find anything, unable to absorb anything,
because he is only thinking of the thing he is seeking,
because he has a goal, because he is obsessed with his goal.
Seeking means: to have a goal;
but finding means: to be free, to be receptive, to have no goal.

Siddhartha
