“Pursuing your purpose can occasionally provoke opposition from those who oppose progress. That is why you need a spiritually protective device in the form of prayer to combat what is sent against your purpose. Arm yourself with the shield of prayer.”

“Pursuit of contentment is not the pursuit of an elusive tomorrow; it is the celebration of today. In that, it is the pursuit to end all pursuits.”

“Pursuit of desires, divine passions.”

“Purtăm fără lacrimi o boală în strune şi mergem de-a pururi spre soare-apune. Ni-e sufletul spadă de foc stinsă-n teacă. Ah iarăşi şi iarăşi cuvintele seacă. Vânt veşnic răsună prin ceţini de zadă. Purces-am în lume pe punţi de baladă. Străbatem amurguri cu crini albi în gură. Închidem în noi un sfârşit sub armură. Purtăm fără lacrimi o boală în strune şi mergem de-a pururi spre soare-apune. Răni ducem - izvoare - deschise subt haină. Sporim nesfârşirea c-un cântec, c-o taină.”

“Purusharth (spiritual effort to progress as the Self) is such that it can only happen after attaining Purush (the Self). In fact, the prakruti (non-Self complex) is making you dance forcibly and on top of that you say, "I am doing this." That is known as bhranti no purusharth (illusory effort). That cannot be real spiritual effort to progress as the Self. It is only after the Self and the non-Self complex become separate that real spiritual effort to progress as the Self can happen.”

“Purées of plum or dusky berries float on glass pots of yoghurt; scallops and oysters quiver on the half-shell and platters of sashimi sit on jagged crystals of crushed ice. Slices of boiled bacon with a mustard glaze are arranged in a soldierly line; poached white fish is wantonly sprinkled with spring onions; a mixture of aubergines and minced pork and another of hot and leafy mustard greens bask in chafing dishes next to stainless-steel cauldrons of miso soup. There are wicker baskets of dumplings steaming and a whole table of ingredients--- rice, eggs, greens and soy sauce--- with which to build your own bibimbap.”

“Push hard to get better, become smarter, grow your devotion to the truth, fuel your commitment to beauty, refine your emotional intelligence, hone your dreams, negotiate with your shadow, cure your ignorance, shed your pettiness, heighten your drive to look for the best in people, and soften your heart -- even as you always accept yourself for exactly who you are with all of your so-called imperfections.”

“Push versus Pull Marketing. Who wants to be pushed around? I certainly don’t. Statements push and questions pull. Don’t you prefer the latter? Questions pique interest and can keep the dialogue flowing when your other alternatives aren’t as attractive or magnetic.”
