Real devotion is an unbroken receptivity to the truth. Real devotion is rooted in an awed and reverent gratitude, but one that is lucid, grounded, and intelligent.
if you need happiness we can let it come around sometimes happier than i think i am the happy woman cries
The very entity of the mind, its nature of mere luminosity and knowing, is not polluted by defilements; they do not abide in the entity of the mind. Even when we generate afflictive emotions, the very entity or nature of the mind is still mere luminosity and knowing, and because of this we are able to remove the afflictive emotions. If you agitate the water in a pond, it becomes cloudy with mud; yet the very nature of the water itself is not dirty. When you allow it to become still again, the mud will settle leaving the water pure.
you, soft and only you, lost and lonely you, strange as angels dancing in the deepest oceans twisting in the water you’re just like a dream you’re just like a dream

Moods are often a result of environmental influences. Each one of us is affected in different ways by the world about us. But you should not allow yourself to indulge in moods over external conditions. Why should you take on the effects of your environment?
sunbeam, stop tugging me

Life is a cosmic movie (projected within the screen of consciousness). I look at the beam of light, which is projecting these scenes on the screen of life (consciousness). I see the pictures of the whole universe coming from this beam.
It is not your passing thoughts or brilliant ideas so much as your plain everyday habits that control your life…Live simply. Don’t get caught in the machine of the world — it is too exacting. By the time you get what you are seeking your nerves are gone, the heart is damaged, and the bones are aching. Resolve to develop your spiritual powers more earnestly from now on. Learn the art of right living. If you have joy you have everything, so learn to be glad and contented…Have happiness now.
sing with me y’all:
one world, one world (we only got)
one world, one world (that’s all we got)
one world, one world
and something’s wrong with it (yeah)
something’s wrong with it (yeah)
something’s wrong with the wo-wo-world, yeah
we only got
(one world, one world)
that’s all we got
(one world, one world)
Water is fluid, soft, and yielding. But water will wear away rock, which is rigid and cannot yield. As a rule, whatever is fluid, soft, and yielding will overcome whatever is rigid and hard. This is another paradox: what is soft is strong.
take it from me
when you start it’s just a matter of time
any minute you will cross that line
take it from me
you never think about the price that you pay
take it from me
it got a mind of its own and it stings
take it from me
it got a mind of its own and it stings
nothing can stop me
nothing holds me back
think you could slow me down?
