To force oneself to believe and to accept a thing without understanding is political, and not spiritual or intellectual.

Conquer the angry one by not getting angry; conquer the wicked by goodness; conquer the stingy by generosity, and the liar by speaking the truth.

[Verse 223]

Those who consider the inessential to be essential
And see the essential as inessential
Don't reach the essential,
Living in the field of wrong intention

The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, worry about the future or anticipate troubles, but to live in the present moment.

You will not be punished for your anger; you will be punished by your anger.

Even as a solid rock is unshaken by the wind, so are the wise unshaken by praise or blame.
