“Work. Good, honest work, whether it’s working with your hands to create an artwork, or manual labour, brings forth a sense of divinity at play. The only prerequisite is that whatever the work is, it is done sincerely and in congruence with the soul’s true origin and intent, then, without any effort, one experiences a flow, wherein one feels a part of the plan of the entire universe.”

“Kiss your scars. Fall in love with them. They ought to serve as life-affirming reminders—a lingering trace of hope. The only reason we have these scars is because we survived and are still here.”

NOTE TO SELF:

even if you spend your life reading the greatest books, listening to the most divine classical music, & getting drunk on stunning vistas of mountains & waterfalls, all of it is meaningless if you aren’t sharing it with someone. everything amounts to that. true, we must experience some things in solitude in order to grow, create, destroy, & grow again, but our pleasure & joy reach a threshold in isolation. it is the worst thing to become
an island.
one must become the whole world.

“And then one day you realise that if you want to be rich, you’d have to give away almost everything you own.”

“We all have the ability to make someone’s life better with our love.”

“Why are we afraid of the silence that ensues after our death? Wasn’t it the same silence we endured before birth? Isn’t it the same silence we revel in when we are completely immersed in the present moment? Let us not be afraid.”
