Meditation in a closed, safe environment is easy.
But it is your dealings with people in the outside world that is a true indicator of your progress in the spiritual journey.
Everything goes away.
Nothing stays forever.
Hence, you own nothing. It is all on rent.
When you forget this, you create your own suffering.
Overthinking is a disease.
Sadly, we have normalised overthinking to such an extent, we don't even recognise it.

You can't get rid of problems in life.
But you can certainly change your relationship with problems.
Do what you can. Let the rest simply be.

First, my successes became empty.
Then, my failures became empty.
Slowly, I stopped caring about the two,
Finally, all my desires became empty.
Now, I just have a few attachments left....but I know where they too are headed.

Pain is compulsory.
It comes with life.
Suffering is optional.
It comes from the mind.

Yes, I will encounter problems this week.
Yes, things will not go according to plan.
Yes, I will come across people who scheme and plot.
But nothing is going to rob me of my peace of mind.
For that's totally in my hands!

The ability to sit back, relax and do nothing without feeling guilty about it is a life skill.
The greatest wealth is contentment.
The greatest happiness is freedom from opinions.
The greatest peace is attained through the abandonment of desires.

Happiness does not come about from cessation of problems.
Happiness comes from change in attitude towards problems.

The moment you make anything your goal, you postpone it to the distant future.
Thus, what all cannot be a goal?

Life is a curriculum of problems.
You can't escape the coursework, but you can change the mindset you bring to the classroom.
Shift from "Why is this happening?" to "What is this teaching me?
Until you do this, you will keep encountering the same problems again and again.
