MIRROR OF THE MIND: All that we are is the result of our thoughts;

the world is made up of our thoughts. If a person is happy, it is

because he dwells in happy thoughts. If he is miserable, it is

because he dwells in despondent and debilitating thoughts. If

circumstances had the power to bless or harm, they would affect all

persons alike – but the fact that the same circumstance will be good

to one and bad to another demonstrates that good or bad is not in

the circumstance, but only in the mind of the person who interprets

it. When you begin to realize this you will begin to control your

thoughts, to discipline your mind, and to rebuild the inward temple

of your soul. You will eliminate all useless thoughts, and

incorporate into yourself thoughts of joy, peace and compassion. –

James Allen

 

We often add to our pain and suffering by being overly sensitive,

overreacting to minor things, and sometimes taking things too

personally. We tend to take small things too seriously and blow them

out of proportion. – Dalai Lama

 

There are births and deaths, but they are of the ego; not of you.

You exist whether the sense of ego is there or not. —Sri Ramana

 

Prayer and mediation must be undertaken as a joyous privilege for

talking with God, and not as a chore or duty inflicted upon us. –
