What causes suffering is trying to avoid the facts of life, trying to avoid pain and trying to seek happiness.  When things are not going well and we feel depressed or inadequate, take notice of these important moments in your life.  At this moment real healing can take place.

It is good to strive for purity, but if you conceive purity as a fight against all the bad things in the world, you doom yourself to obsession and futility.  The only way to achieve purity is to realize your essential oneness with all things.  If you are one with all things even the bad is pure.

If you look to others for fulfillment, you will never be truly fulfilled.  If your happiness depends on money or possessions, you will never be happy.  Be content with what you have and rejoice in the way things are, then you will realize nothing is lacking.

We must understand the demands of the times to find the necessary offset for its deficiencies and damages.  By being responsible for your own well-being, conscientious in your actions and simple in your expenditures, you will find the necessary offset.

Quote: When any change happens look for the opportunity it brings you.
