Maha Vaakyas...
It's the simple things in life that are the most extraordinary; only wise men are able to understand them
Everyone seems to have a clear idea of how other people should lead their lives, but none about his or her own.
"It's this: that at a certain point in our lives, we lose control of what's happening to us, and our lives become controlled by fate. That's the world's greatest lie."
Everyone, when they are young, knows what their destiny is... "At that point in their lives, everything is clear and everything is possible. They are not afraid to dream, and to yearn for everything they would like to see happen to them in their lives. But, as time passes, a mysterious force begins to convince them that it will be impossible for them to realize their destiny."
"And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it."
"If you start out by promising what you don't even have yet, you'll lose your desire to work toward getting it."
principle of favorability. When you play cards the first time, you are almost sure to win. Beginner's luck."
... that in money there was magic; whoever has money is never really alone
"I'm like everyone else—I see the world in terms of what I would like to see happen, not what actually does."
every blessing ignored becomes a curse.
When someone makes a
decision, he is really diving into a strong current that will carry him to places he had
never dreamed of when he first made the decision.

those words that the universal language is written.''
the
desert is so huge, and the horizons so distant, that they make a person feel small, and as if
he should remain silent."
intuition is really a sudden
immersion of the soul into the universal current of life, where the histories of all people
are connected, and we are able to know everything, because it's all written there
people need
not fear the unknown if they are capable of achieving what they need and want.
"We are afraid of losing what we have, whether it's our life or our possessions and
property. But this fear evaporates when we understand that our life stories and the history
of the world were written by the same hand."
In alchemy, it's called the Soul of
the World. When you want something with all your heart, that's when you are closest to
the Soul of the World. It's always a positive force.
Everything on earth is being continuously transformed, because the earth is alive… and
it has a soul. We are part of that soul, so we rarely recognize that it is working for us.
One could open a book to any
page, or look at a person's hand; one could turn a card, or watch the flight of the birds…
whatever the thing observed, one could find a connection with his experience of the
moment. Actually, it wasn't that those things, in themselves, revealed anything at all; it
was just that people, looking at what was occurring around them, could find a means of
penetration to the Soul of the World.
"If good things are coming, they will be a pleasant surprise," said the seer. "If bad things
are, and you know in advance, you will suffer greatly before they even occur."
Courage is the quality most essential to
understanding the Language of the World.
Remember that
wherever your heart is, there you will find your treasure. You've got to find the treasure,
so that everything you have learned along the way can make sense.
You don't even have to understand the desert: all you
have to do is contemplate a simple grain of sand, and you will see in it all the marvels of
creation.
Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And that no
heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams, because every second of the
search is a second's encounter with God and with eternity
happiness could be found
in a grain of sand from the desert, as the alchemist had said. Because a grain of sand is a
moment of creation, and the universe has taken millions of years to create it
when we strive to become better than we are,
everything around us becomes better, too
