Count Your Blessing

Solitude is in the mind of man. One might be in the thick of the world and maintain serenity of mind. Such a one is in solitude. Another may stay in a forest but still be unable to control his mind. Such a man cannot be said to be in solitude. Solitude is a function of the mind. A man attached to desires cannot bet solitude wherever he may be, whereas a detached man is always in solitude. ~ Sri Ramana Maharshi

Silence is a great help to a seeker after truth. ~ Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi

The undisturbed state of being is bliss; the disturbed state is what appears as the world. In non-duality there is bliss; in duality theres is experience. What comes and goes is experience, with its duality of pain and pleasure. Bliss is not to be known. One is always in bliss, but never blissful. Bliss is not an attribute. ~ Nisargadatta Maharaj

The soul that moves in the world of the senses and yet keeps the senses in harmony, free from attraction and aversion, finds rest in quietness. ~ Bhagavad Gita

The mind that turns ever outward will have no end to craving; Only the mind turned inward will find a still-point of peace. ~ Tao

To the mind that is still, the whole universe surrenders. ~ Lao-Tzu

You cannot buy peace of mind in a shop — at least not as long as our brains haven’t been replaced by computers. ~ Dalai Lama
