Famous AVIS Viswanathan Quotes

“Whatever it is, take it as it comes. This is surely never easy. But when you understand that you can’t win fighting Life, you will realize that this is the only option. So, going with the flow is not quite a spiritual or romantic, feel-good, concept as it is made out to be. It is an intelligent choice, driven by plain common sense, of doing what you possibly can in a given situation. When you awaken to this truth, you will be happy despite your circumstances.”

“A painful situation arrives in your Life simply because it was meant to. It is never because your “energies are negative” or that you are being “punished for past sins”. Your pain is here to teach you Life lessons. Which is why extraordinary pain is a sign of grace, of a great teacher arriving in your Life to transform you, to make you resilient, wise and happy!”

“When your work becomes your prayer, Life becomes meaningful. We are conditioned to imagine that work is a means to earn a living. But what if you made your work the reason why you live, the raison d’etre for your Happiness, for your living? Think: how happy you possibly can be when what you do every day is your prayer, your selfless offering to a Higher Energy, to the creator. Simply, instead of making money the object, make your work your prayer and strive for world-class excellence…money, over time, will eventually flow to you, just as everything you need will!”

“Your job is to set out on Life’s journey as a voyager, which you already have by having been born (an act that, well, happened beyond you!). Life’s job is to reach you to the shore, which it eventually will, but not before it has tossed you up and down and churned your insides several times over. So, don’t sweat over anything. It is simply not worth it! Remember: your Life’s happening exactly the way it must. Train your mind to be non-worrying, non-frustrated and non-suffering. Be happy! Let Life take over, you simply go with the flow…!”

“Train your mind to be non-worrying, non-frustrated and non-suffering. And then feel the difference. Non-worrying does not mean that worries will not arise; it means you won't pick up a worry and give it any attention or power. Non-frustrated does not mean inaction or resignation; it means you will not feel defeated when your efforts to fix whatever you want changed in your Life repeatedly come unstuck. And non-suffering does not mean you are free from pain; it means you have learned to co-live with extreme pain by choosing to not ask 'why' or 'why me'. Now, when you are non-worrying, non-frustrated and non-suffering, you are happy. Simple.”

“Life’s pretty simple. If doing something makes you unhappy, and you can avoid it, don’t do it. And more often than you can imagine, most of the stuff that makes you unhappy is avoidable! And if you can’t avoid it, do it with full acceptance, without complaining about it. That’s a sure way to be happy despite the circumstances.”
