Quote by Shunya

“Nothingness is the source of everything. It is the magical pot from which you can get never ending supply of anything. But everytime you want something from it, you have to lose yourself into it. Then a new version of you will come out of it along with the thing you wanted.”

“Your mind is like a device you are wearing. Play with it instead of being played by it. You can easily play with one setting of this device: Focus. Focus only when required. At home, you are relaxed. But your mind is narrowly focussed on TV, fridge, phone and bed. De-focus and take in the whole surrounding. Feel the air touching your skin. hear so many sounds reaching your ears, sit on the floor and see your room without focussing on particular objects.”

“We can create some information about Buffalo, milk and its nutritional values. We can exchange that information with each other for money, appreciation etc. A monk living alone in jungle doesn't know words such as Buffalo, milk or nutrition. He just wonders, "Green grass enters into this big black thing and a white liquid comes out of it. How!" He can't exchange this wonder with anyone but it transports him to eternity.”
