Deal with Life calmly and you will be able to make something meaningful out of your lived experiences. Get keyed up and you will end up in knots. And, of course, occasionally, be prepared for your Life’s plans to be snatched away from you, knotted up and thrown back at you, to untangle...!

We are all waiting. Someone’s waiting for love, another is waiting for understanding…someone is waiting for recognition…yet another is waiting for money…some are waiting for healing and some others are waiting for death…Life is eventually a game spent in waiting. And the only way to make the wait meaningful, and be happy through all the waiting, is to be patient and trust the process of Life!

The way to stay calm and peaceful each day is to wake up and offer yourself to Life! Instead of the traditional 'naivedhya' or 'sacred offering' of fruit or food to an idol/image, offer yourself to Creation! And say that, “Whatever you do with/for me today, I will accept humbly; I know it has a meaning, and an opportunity for me to evolve”! That's the way to staying anchored. Do it and watch your ability to deal with each day, particularly when in the throes of a crisis, magically improve!

Asking yourself how you want to be remembered is a great way to decide how you want to live the rest of your Life!

Expectationlessness is a great state to be in. It is here that you are happy and content with what is, with what you have!

What is not to be, will not be. Accept this truth and you will never be unhappy!

You are unlikely to find the perfect Life that you want. Even so, you can live fully with what you have, with what you have been given. And you do that by looking Life squarely in the eye, by facing it and by accepting what is, by learning to be happy despite the circumstances.

Religion is a human invention. It is a device with which a few people control the masses, employing fear and divisiveness. Allowing ourselves to be divided on the lines of religion is being outright stupid. Because judging and alienating – hating – another human being causes, above all, your own suffering.

You cannot be who you are without having gone through what you went through.
