Sayings

 

 

1.

Pay attention to your thoughts, for they become words.

Pay attention to your words, for they become actions.

Pay attention to your actions, for they become habits.

Watch your habits because they become your character.

Watch your character because it becomes your destiny.

Talmud

Heaven’s wish for us, as I see and experience it, is us being strong and truthful in all of our doings.

All of our doings start with a single thought.

This thought becomes a word, which unfolds to an action.

The action leads to a habit, while the habit forms our character.

All of this ends in the character being our fate.

2.

The goal is – to achieve satisfaction in the now.

3.

Tears.

There are tears of hope, tears of recognition, tears of despair, tears of sadness, tears of happiness and joy and tears of guilt.

For whatever reason tears speak – they are always tears of the heart, that is, of knowledge.

There are only tears of knowledge.

4.

P ride is the biggest obstacle on the way to knowledge. Desire only distracts, but does not obstruct the path. Pride, on the other hand, blinds and therefore leads astray.

There are no mistakes, but there are errors.

The human mind is perfect. In essence, it staggers.

There are unwholesome states of mind and wholesome ones. The attachment of the mind to the things it perceives leads to failure.

This is unsatisfactory, though – at times – refreshing. We give in too much to short-term success and this causes long-term suffering.

The joy of sensory impressions clouds our mind. Uncertainty leads to the acceptance of public opinion. Be free, human, and strengthen in your efforts to find peace within yourself.

5.

If you want to change your country, change your city.

If you want to change your city, change your street.

If you want to change your street, change your house.

If you want to change your house, change yourself.

Arab proverb

6.

The most central and only question of importance in a person’s life is: Who am I?

All other questions that deal with human existence are derivatives of this one question.

7.

Which is wiser:

The fool who follows the wise man or the fool who follows himself?

8.

Only he who knows longing knows what love is. And only he who knows love knows what recognition is.

This is why we find ourselves in life and lose ourselves again, only to find ourselves again afterwards.

9.

When a soul is circumcised in its desire for freedom to do what it has chosen to do, aggression arises.
