"If you become a helper of hearts,..." - Quote by Rumi

“Escape from the black cloud that surrounds you.Then you will see your own light as radiant as the full moon.”

“I was youand never knew it.”

“This poetry. I never know what I'm going to say. I don't plan it. When I'm outside the saying of it, I get very quiet and rarely speak at all.”

“Carry your heart through this world like a life-giving sun”

“Once we have a firm practice of compassion our state of mind becomes stronger which leads to inner peace, giving rise to self-confidence, which reduces fear. This makes for constructive members of the community. Self-centredness on the other hand leads to distance, suspicion, mistrust and loneliness, with unhappiness as the result.”

“Technology is unlocking the innate compassion we have for our fellow human beings.”

“Service is not possible unless it is rooted in love orahimsa.”

“We become forgetful of the ego when we think of the body as dedicated to the service of others - the body with which most complacently we identify the ego.”

“For a bowl of water give a goodly meal; For a kindly greeting bow thou down with zeal; For a simple penny pay thou back with gold; If thy life be rescued, life do not withhold. Thus the words and actions of the wise regard; Every little service tenfold they reward. But the truly noble know all men as one, And return with gladness good for evil done.”
