“when we seek advice from others, deep inside we wish the advice given to us is the one we are secretly already wishing for in our hearts”

“Advice is what we ask for when we already know the answer but wish we didn’t.”

“The wisdom of Enlightenment is inherent in every one of us. It is because of the illusion under which our minds work, that we fail to realize it ourselves, so we seek the advice and the guidance of 'Enlightened Ones'.”

“You seek escape from pain. We seek the achievement of happiness. You exist for the sake of avoiding punishment. We exist for the sake of earning rewards. Threats will not make us function; fear is not our incentive. It is not death that we wish to avoid, but life that we wish to live”

“We never do what we wish when we wish it, and when we desire a thing earnestly, and it does arrive, that or we are changed, so that we slide from the summit of our wishes and find ourselves where we were.”

“When you lose someone, they take a bigger place in your heart, not a smaller one. Every day it grows, because you don't stop loving them. You wish you could talk to them. You need their advice. But life doesn't always give us what we need, and it's difficult.”
