“Isn't it a pleasure to study and practice what you have learned? Isn't it also great when friends visit from distant places? If one remains not annoyed when he is not understood by people around him, isn't he a sage?”
“Make use of your friends by being of use to them.”
More on Nature
“I see that nature offers us a solution to everything that we call a problem. If you can just find your own nature and live it as naturally as you possibly can and be in a state of awe over everything, it doesn't matter where you are. It almost speaks to you and says, "There's no reason to be upset about anything. It will pass." If it's really going to pass, why stay confused by it and depressed by it. Just watch it go. It's on its way out. That's what I began to do.”
“A single gentle rain makes the grass many shades greener.”
“Care is taken that trees do not grow into the sky.[Ger., Es ist dafur gesorgt, dass die Baume nicht in den Himmel wachsen.]”
