When the mind is

at peace

the world too is

at peace.

Nothing real,

Nothing absent.

Not holding on

to reality,

nor getting stuck

in the void,

you are neither holy

nor wise, just

an ordinary fellow

who has completed

his work.

LAYMAN P'ANG

c. 740-808

*

'Silence and seclusion

are the secrets

of success.

In this modern

life of activity

there is only

one way to

separate yourself

from its ceaseless

demands..

get away from it

once in a while..

Paramahansa

Yogananda

'Autobiography of

a Yogi'

*

Ten thousand flowers

in spring, the moon

in autumn, a cool

breeze in summer,

snow in winter.

If your mind

isn't clouded by

unnecessary things,

this is the best

season of your

life.

WU-MEN

1183-1260

*

Empty your mind

of all thoughts.

Let your

heart be at peace.

Watch the turmoil of

beings, but

contemplate their

return.

Each separate being

in the universe

returns to the

common source.

Returning to the

source

is serenity...
