Creative potential

Life is the ambition to make the ugly beautiful, the imperfect perfect
and when the perfect is achieved, life is complete.

A great mystic last prayer to God was:
”Send me back. Remember, I am not perfect. Send me back. Your world was too beautiful and you gave me such a precious life. And I don’t want to disappear yet: I have yet to sing many songs, I have yet to paint many paintings, there is yet much in my heart which needs to bloom. Send me back, I am not perfect! Send me back.“

You have infinite capacities to create; you are unlimited, you don’t have any limits to your potential. You are not aware what you can do, and you will never be aware unless you do it!

How to find peace?

WHO CAN FIND REPOSE IN A MUDDY WORLD?

BY LYING STILL, IT BECOMES CLEAR.
says Lao Tzu.

You don’t do anything, don’t try to purify it, otherwise you will muddle it more. Just lie down, wait. By lying still it becomes clear on its own accord. Everybody is directly related to the divine so don’t be worried about changing others.

Be like curious children

Do not grow old, no matter how long you live. Never cease to stand like curious children before the Great Mystery into which we were born.
- Albert Einstein

We have lost the way...

…in this world there is room for everyone. And the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone. The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way. Greed has poisoned men’s souls, has barricaded the world with hate, has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed. We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in. Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge has made us cynical. Our cleverness, hard and unkind. We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery we need humanity. More than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost…

Charles Chaplin - Speech from the Great Dictator

You are right!

A man of understanding understands that somehow everybody has to be right in some sense or other.

Life is very shy

If you want to be happy you cannot move directly like an arrow towards the target of happiness; if you do, you will miss it.

Because life is very shy, it hides from people who are aggressive.
It reveals itself only to those who persuade it in a very subtle and indirect way. You need to be a little more poetic, you need to write beautiful love letters to life.

Devotion

Devotion is a purified love affair.

Worry

"Worry pretends to be necessary but serves no useful purpose."
- Eckhart Tolle

Free the butterfly

As soon as the honeymoon laughter is gone,

marriage remains a butterfly pinned down, unable to fly to a higher level, to a divine place.
