Life And Living Quotes

“Затяжное самогрызенье, по согласному мнению всех моралистов, является занятием самым нежелательным. Поступив скверно, раскайся, загладь, насколько можешь, вину и нацель себя на то, чтобы в следующий раз поступить лучше. Ни в коем случае не предавайся нескончаемой скорби над своим грехом. Барахтанье в дерьме - не лучший способ очищения.”

“My pursuit of spirituality does not consist of ritual, nor of regimen. My spirituality is embodied by laughter and heartfelt enjoyments. My spirituality does not make me look serious and dignified. But my spirituality makes me look awe-inspired like a child. Try to take this away from me and I will run from what you try to feed me. There is no truer truth than innocence, no truer truth than joy.”

“There is nothing else or other than One. In soul-essence, without one being aware of it or not, you too are That! But to get the 'That' of Which Is, one's living and lifestyle too much be in harmony with Oneness. Or one remains a dumb-ass. In life, and death.”

“Do you suppose, that part of the constant delight of Heaven, will be the ability to be truly thankful for every thing, no matter how miniscule? Even in this life there are an enormous number of very pleasant things that happen to us throughout the day, that we accept as being nothing out of the common way, and thus do not regard: not realizing that the very fact of their being so 'common' is in itself a blessing of the very highest magnitude!”

“We rebel against our own totalitarianism, as much as that of others. I cannot merely order myself to action, and neither can you. “I will stop procrastinating,” I say, but I don’t. “I will eat properly,” I say, but I don’t. “I will end my drunken misbehaviour,” I say, but I don’t. I cannot merely make myself over in the image constructed by my intellect (particularly if that intellect is possessed by an ideology). I have a nature, and so do you, and so do we all. We must discover that nature, and contend with it, before making peace with ourselves. What is it, that we most truly are? What is it that we could most truly become, knowing who we most truly are? We must get to the very bottom of things before such questions can be truly answered.”
