“In every part and corner of our life, to lose oneself is to be a gainer; to forget oneself is to be happy.”
“To forget oneself is to be happy.”
“Forgetting oneself is opening oneself”
“Happiness, as is evident, depends partly upon external circumstances and partly upon oneself.”
“Meditation is not a withdrawal from life. Meditation is a process of understanding oneself. And, when one begins to understand oneself, not only the conscious but all the hidden parts of oneself as well, then there comes tranquility. Meditation demands constant watchfulness, constant awareness of every word, thought and feeling, which reveals the state of our own being, and as that is arduous, we escape into every kind of conformity, deceptive thing and call it meditation.”
“In Varenka, she realized that one has but to forget oneself and love others, and one will be calm, happy, and noble.”
