WISDOM THOUGHTS

[Dipika]

Love never claims, it ever gives; love never suffers, never resents, never revenges itself. Where there is love there is life; hatred leads to destruction.
--Mahatma Gandhi


"It takes one person to forgive, it takes two people to be reunited."

What counts in making a happy relationship is not so much how compatible you are, but how you deal with incompatibility.
--Daniel Goleman

There are three kinds of love, - unselfish, mutual, and selfish. The unselfish love is of the highest kind. The lover only minds the welfare of the beloved and does not care for his own sufferings. In mutual love the lover not only wants the happiness of his beloved but has an eye towards his own happiness also. It is middling. The selfish love is the lowest. It only looks towards its own happiness, no matter whether the beloved suffers weal or woe.
--Sri Ramakrishna

“To forgive is the highest, most beautiful form of love. In return, you will receive untold peace and happiness.” Robert Muller

Sara Paddison, Hidden Power of the Heart
Sincere forgiveness isn't colored with expectations that the other person apologize or change. Don't worry whether or not they finally understand you. Love them and release them. Life feeds back truth to people in its own way and time—just like it does for you and me.


Mahatma Gandhi
The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.


Madame Dorothée Deluzy
It is easier to forgive an enemy than a friend.

Alexander Pope
To err is human; to forgive, divine

[Dipika]

There are three classes of devotees. The lowest one says, "God is up there," and he points to heaven. The mediocre devotee says that God dwells in the heart as the "Inner Controller". But the highest devotee says: "God alone has become everything. All things that we perceive are so many forms of God."

Be not a traitor in your thoughts. Be sincere. Act according to your thoughts and you shall surely succeed. Pray with a sincere and simple heart, and your prayers will be heard.


Words of Sri Ramakrishna

Kabeer ji says as a pebble of path is walked over, same way by getting rid of ego, one should live.

Kabîr, I am the worst of all. Everyone else is good.


Kabîr, the sandalwood tree is good, even though it is surrounded by weeds
Those who dwell near the sandalwood tree, become just like the sandalwood tree
Kabîr, the bamboo is drowned in its egotistical pride. No one should drown like this
Bamboo also dwells near the sandalwood tree, but it does not take up its fragrance.

Kabîr, the dwelling of the Saints is good; the dwelling of the unrighteous burns like an oven
Those mansions in which the Lord's Name is not chanted might just as well burn down

Kabîr: with my eyes, I see You, Lord; with my ears, I hear Your Name
With my tongue I chant Your Name; I enshrine Your Lotus Feet within my heart
Kabîr, I have been spared from heaven and hell, by the Grace of the True Guru.
From beginning to end, I abide in the joy of the Lord's Lotus Feet
Kabîr, how can I even describe the extent of the joy of the Lord's Lotus Feet
The Lord is just as He is. I dwell in delight, singing His Glorious Praises
I cannot describe its sublime glory; it has to be seen to be appreciated
Kabîr, how can I describe what I have seen No one will believe my words

Kabîr, if you live the householder's life, then practice righteousness; otherwise, you might as well retire from the world.

When the world pushes you to your knees, you're in the perfect position to pray.


Few things in the world are more powerful than a positive push. A smile. A world of optimism and hope. A "you can do it" when things are tough.
