“If you’re really listening, if you’re awake to the poignant beauty of the world, your heart breaks regularly. In fact, your heart is made to break; its purpose is to burst open again and again so that it can hold ever-more wonders.”

“What you sow you reap. Don’t worry about the future and don’t worry about the past. A great thinker once said the past and the future are not even visible. But what is visible? The golden present. Think of the golden present, sow what is necessary, what is right. Sow good thoughts, sow good deeds, and I am sure you will reap good fruits. There is no question about it. What you do comes back to you. What you sow, you reap. So do the right thing in the present, and don’t worry about the future. The people who worry about the future miss the present as well.”
—Sri Swami Satchidananda, The Golden Present (via unfetteringlove)
“Life *should* have challenges. Without challenges it would be a bore. It is only in challenging situations that you really learn. Never give up hope. If the mind is strong, anything can be achieved.”
—Sri Swami Satchidananda (via unfetteringlove)
