When you are suffering, when you are unhappy, stay totally with what is Now. Unhappiness or problems cannot survive in the Now.

“A culture that denies death inevitably becomes shallow and superficial, concerned only with the external form of things. When death is denied, life loses its depth.”
“The goal has its importance. But the doing is what is truly fulfilling. Every enthusiastic person has a goal that may be important, but the doing is intensely fulfilling, and it is the essence of enthusiasm.”
“Whatever the ego seeks and gets attached to are substitutes for the Being that it cannot feel.”

“Why, all delights are vain; but that most vain, Which, with pain purchas'd, doth inherit pain.”
“Trouble makes us one with every human being in the world - and unless we touch others, we're out of touch with life.”
“What give all that is tragic, whatever its form, the characteristic of the sublime, is the first inkling of the knowledge that the world and life can give no satisfaction, and are not worth our investment in them. The tragic spirit consists in this. Accordingly it leads to resignation.”
More on Unhappiness
“We are never either so fortunate or so misfortunate as we imagine.”
“The whole movement of happiness, unhappiness, happiness, unhappiness, could be called unhappiness. You're suffering because your state of mind is in flux, moving back and forth. The ego's happiness is really a form of suffering, because it cannot live without unhappiness.”
“The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation. What is called resignation is confirmed desperation.”
