The secret of attraction is to love yourself. Attractive people judge neither themselves nor others. They are open to gestures of love. They think about love, and express their love in every action. They know that love is not a mere sentiment, but the ultimate truth at the heart of the universe.

If you’re tired, I’ll wear you for a day, for a week, maybe even longer, but sooner or later you’re going to have to carry yourself, even if I’m strong enough for the both of us, I want you to be strong enough for you.

What if the ocean is confused? What if it rages because it does not realise its own depth and purpose?

The fact is that five years ago I was, as near as possible, a different person to what I am tonight. I, as I am now, didn’t exist at all. Will the same thing happen in the next five years? I hope so.
When we stop trying to create happiness, happiness comes by itself. It is a common mistake to believe we have to work hard for happiness, or that happiness is conditioned by what we have, and who we are in society. Happiness is the experience of mind when there is no presence of fear. That’s all. It’s simple. As with everything in the truly spiritual life, that which is valuable comes only when we have relinquished that which is invaluable – when we have let go. So don’t seek happiness, let go of your fears and obsessions, let go of your doubts and worries, and look, there it is!
May all beings be happy.

In detachment lies the wisdom of uncertainty… in the wisdom of uncertainty lies the freedom from our past, from the known, which is the prison of past conditioning. And in our willingness to step into the unknown, the field of all possibilities, we surrender ourselves to the creative mind that orchestrates the dance of the universe.
