Quote by Abhijit Naskar

“Honor He Wrote Sonnet 100 All meditate on symbols, I meditate on people. Most worship fictitious deities, I worship those branded unliftable. People are my almighty, Oneness is my religion, Division is degradation, Unification is illumination. All is possible for a human who's responsible, Only the indifferent make excuses. Possibility is born of responsibility, Not of whining, praying and limbless wishes. Real and unreal, put all these talk aside. Let us be civilization, let us be lifelight.”

“Practicing Mindfulness not only keeps us awake but also keeps us aware of the impermanence of life; therefore, we have a greater appreciation of it. We care. Life matters. The moments of our lives matter. We don’t want to waste them. Not a single one.”

“Mindfulness helps us stay right here, even when it’s uncomfortable staying right here, and this is something very important for us to learn. We must discipline our mind to be present, aware, and focused, even when we would rather do anything but that.”

“Be present with your pain, and be willing to feel it, really feel it. Yes, it can be very uncomfortable, but if you quickly try to numb yourself from it, then you are choosing to be in the moment half-asleep, and what kind of way is that to go through life?”

“Mindfulness is here for you, but you must use it, or it remains a valuable quality wasted. It will help you when you are sad or feeling hopeless by making you more aware of what’s troubling you so you can know what to do about it.”

“The real miracle is when someone is able to stop the cause of suffering and create the cause of happiness by learning that their own mind is the source of their suffering and happiness. The real miracle is to transform our mind, because this will take care of us for many lifetimes. Our positive attitude will stop us from creating the cause of problems, thus ensuring our happiness not only in this life but in hundreds, or even thousands, of future lives up to enlightenment. This is the greatest success. (p. 30)”

“We have the assurance of the enlightened beings that reality is goodness, that reality is freedom from suffering, that reality is bliss. So we should never fear to open ourselves to reality, to cast aside our preconceptions and biases, and to open more and more to whatever turns out to be real. You can have faith in enlightenment, faith in evolutionary potential, faith in infinity, faith in your infinite self. (p. 222)”

“Since healing essentially comes from our mind, not from our body, it is important to understand the nature of the mind. The intrinsic nature of the mind is pure in the sense that it is not one with the faults of the mind, with the disturbing thoughts and obscurations. All the faults of our mind — our selfishness, ignorance, anger, attachment, guilt, and other disturbing thoughts — are temporary, not permanent and everlasting. And since the cause of our suffering, our disturbing thoughts and obscurations, is temporary, our suffering is also temporary. The mind is also empty of true existence, of existence from its own side. This quality of mind, known as Buddha Nature, gives us the potential to free ourselves completely from all suffering, including disease, and the causes of suffering and to achieve any happiness we wish, including the peerless happiness of enlightenment. Since the mind has all this potential, we do not need to feel depressed or hopeless. It is not as if we have to experience problems forever. We have incredible freedom to develop our mind in any way that we wish. It is simply a question of finding the right way to use the potential of our mind.”

“„When mind and body are synchronized in your life and practice, there is very little chance for neurosis of any kind to arise. The basis of neurosis, or even physical discomfort and pain, is mind and body not joining together. Sometimes the mind is miles away and the body is here. Or the body is miles away and the mind is there. The main point of practice is learning to be a proper human being, which is known as being a warrior. When mind and body are joined together, then you are joining heaven and earth, and you can be a genuine warrior. This quality of harmony will bring fearlessness. (p. 76, The Path of Fearlessness)”
