Your task is not to seek for love

Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.

Jalaluddin Rumi

*

We recognise a soulmate by the supreme level of comfort and security we feel with that person. That doesn't mean that there aren't issues that remain to be ironed out.

Linda Brady, karmic astrologist

*

When someone has a strong intuitive connection, Buddhism suggests that it's because of karma, some past connection.

Richard Gere, Hollywood actor

A soulmate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life.

Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love

Soulmates can also be a parent, a sibling or friend. Even pets.

and no rushing torrent like desire."

Most Amazing Buddhist Quotes

The thought manifests as the word;
The word manifests as the deed;
The deed develops into habit;
And habit hardens into character;
So watch the thought and its ways with care,
And let it spring from love
Born out of concern for all beings...

As the shadow follows the body, as we think, so we become.



— The Dhammapada

(Sayings of the Buddha)Lovely Thoughts for Lovely People Just Like You

This is harmony

Embracing the Way, you become embraced;
Breathing gently, you become newborn;
Clearing your mind, you become clear;
Nurturing your children, you become impartial;
Opening your heart, you become accepted;
Accepting the world, you embrace the Way.

Bearing and nurturing,
Creating but not owning,
Giving without demanding,
This is harmony.

Theres No Joy As Joy of Giving

Acts of sacrifice, charity and penance are not to be given up;
they must be performed. Indeed, sacrifice, charity and penance purify even the great souls.

Bhagavad Gita 18.5

I have found that among its other benefits, giving liberates the soul of the giver.
Maya Angelou

When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy. When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.
Khalil Gibran

If you knew what I know about the power of giving,
you would not let a single meal pass without sharing it in some way.

Buddha

Generosity is not giving me that which I need more than you do, but it is giving me that which you need more than I do.
Khalil Gibran

When I chased after money, I never had enough. When I got my life on purpose and focused on giving of myself and everything that arrived into my life, then I was prosperous.
Wayne Dyer





Our prime purpose in this life is to help others.
And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them.

The XIV Dalai Lama

Prayer carries us half way to God,
fasting brings us to the door of His palace,
and alms-giving procures us admission.

Quran



Kindness in words creates confidence.
Kindness in thinking creates profoundness.
Kindness in giving creates love.

Lao Tzu

Parents are Here Always to help Us

Let your mother be to you like unto a god!

African Proverb

Lovely Thoughts for Lovely People Just Like You

Flexible Are You

Nothing in the world is more flexible and
yielding than water. Yet when it attacks the
firm and the strong, none can withstand it,
because they have no way to change it. So the
flexible overcomes the adamant, the yielding
overcomes the forceful. Everyone knows this,
but no one can do it.”
~Lao Tzu

So We Might As well Dance

It is childish and ignorant to talk of duality and non-duality; the enlightened ones laugh at all this. However, without such a discussion based on duality and non-duality, it is not possible to clean one's consciousness of ignorance.

Yoga Vasishta


A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.

Bible


We're fools whether we dance or not, so we might as well dance.

Japanese Proverb


Humour is, in fact, a prelude to faith; and laughter is the beginning of prayer. Laughter must be heard in the outer courts of religion, and the echoes of it should resound in the sanctuary.

Reinhold Niebuhr


Do not take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive.

Elbert Hubbard Lovely Thoughts for Lovely People Just Like You

Surrender To ME

Abandon all varieties of religion and just surrender
unto Me. I shall deliver you from all sinful
reaction. Do not fear.

Bhagavad Gita 18: 66

God has put you in the world. What can you
do about it?

Resign everything to Him.
Surrender yourself at His feet.

Then there will be no more confusion.

Then you will realise that it is God
who does everything.
Ramakrishna Paramhansa

Complete surrender does require that you have no
desire of your own. You must be satisfied with
whatever God gives you and that means having
no desires of your own.

Ramana Maharshi

Linguistically, surrender means to surrender to
somebody, but religiously,
surrender simply means trust, relaxing. It is an
attitude rather than an act: you live through trust.
Osho

To surrender to ignorance and call it God has always
been premature, and it remains premature today.
Isaac Asimov

Steve jobs Amazing quotes

A lot of companies have chosen to downsize, and maybe that was the right thing for them. We chose a different path. Our belief was that if we kept putting great products in front of customers, they would continue to open their wallets.

Steve Jobs



Pretty much, Apple and Dell are the only ones in this industry making money. They make it by being Wal-Mart. We make it by innovation.

Steve Jobs

Steve Jobs



The people who are doing the work are the moving force behind the Macintosh. My job is to create a space for them, to clear out the rest of the organization and keep it at bay.

Love Hurts

Love Hurts Quotes

Sometimes, love hurts. The abrasions of love have inspired many a great writer. From Shakespeare to Jane Austen, writers have at some time or the other dwelt upon the anguish called love. A few of the following quotes bring out the heartaches caused by love in the most striking manner.



Jane Austen

One does not love a place the less for having suffered in it unless it has all been suffering, nothing but suffering.



Anonymous

If love is so important to have that one doesn't want to lose it, why is it when we find true love we often don't notice it?

Oscar Wilde

When one is in love, one always begins by deceiving oneself, and one always ends by deceiving others. That is what the world calls a romance.



Philip Larkin

What will survive of us is love.



Diane Arbus

Love involves a peculiar unfathomable combination of understanding and misunderstanding.

E. Y. Harburg

Oh, innocent victims of Cupid,

Remember this terse little verse;

To let a fool kiss you is stupid,

To let a kiss fool you is worse.



Anonymous

It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.



William Shakespeare

Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs.

Victor M. Garcia Jr.

Love is like the truth, sometimes it prevails, sometimes it hurts.



Spanish proverb

Where there is love, there is pain.

Oscar Wilde

Those who are faithful know only the trivial side of love; it is the faithless who know love's tragedies.



Sir James M. Barrie

If you have it [love], you don't need to have anything else, and if you don't have it, it doesn't matter much what else you have.



Francois de La Rouchefoucauld

There is only one kind of love, but there are a thousand imitations.



William Shakespeare

The courses of true love never did run smooth.



George Granville

Of all pains, the greatest pain,

Is to love, and to love in vain.



Anonymous

Why is it that we don't always recognize the moment love begins, but we always recognize the moment it ends?



Marie E. Eschenbach

We don't believe in rheumatism and true love until after the first attack.



But even after this i would say.......



Everyone says love hurts, but that is not true.

Loneliness hurts. Rejection hurts. Losing someone hurts. Envy hurts. Everyone gets these things confused with love, but in reality love is the only thing in this world that covers up all pain and makes someone feel wonderful again.

Love is the only thing in this world that does not hurt .
