I’m never nervous.

I see the world being slowly transformed into a wilderness; I hear the approaching thunder that, one day, will destroy us too. I feel the suffering of millions.

Appearance is something absolute, but reality is not that way – everything is interdependent, not absolute. So that view is very helpful to maintain a peace of mind because the main destroyer of a peaceful mind is anger.

Do not overrate what you have received, nor envy others. He who envies others does not obtain peace of mind.

The language of excitement is at best picturesque merely. You must be calm before you can utter oracles.

Happiness is not being pained in body or troubled in mind.

Each one has to find his peace from within. And peace to be real must be unaffected by outside circumstances.

A mind at peace, a mind centered and not focused on harming others, is stronger than any physical force in the universe.

I do believe in God. But you won’t find me visiting temples every now and then. I believe in self-realization. Peace of mind matters a lot to me. What’s the point in doing something just for the sake of it? I’d rather do something I like doing as long as I’m being true to myself.

Piety is not a goal but a means to attain through the purest peace of mind the highest culture.

The pursuit, even of the best things, ought to be calm and tranquil.

In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks.
