Ankush Jain Books & Quotes

“If we see that we don’t get to control our thinking, that we don’t choose what thoughts pop up in a split second, then we will feel a full range of emotions and there is nothing to do about it. Often trying to do something about a feeling we have reinforces it rather than allowing it to pass naturally.”

“Guilt simply cannot tell me whether I am a good person or a bad person. There is no chart on which I can check the amount of guilt I’m feeling and see how it corresponds to my “goodness” or otherwise. Guilt is a reflection of my thinking about a certain action or behavior I have taken, or not taken, in the past. Guilt does not and cannot change the past. It often doesn’t even stop a person from taking the same action again in similar circumstances.”

“When all other thoughts leave us, we are left with love - even in the direst of circumstances. There is power in love. We do not need to be victims of circumstance. We do not need to be afraid. We do not need to fear those who commit crimes or who dislike us. We simply need to allow love to emerge. When we do this, we tap into our own source of unlimited power.”
