Buddhas Quotes and Sayings

• The more you ask for happiness, the more you will be in suffering. The suffering is a shadow. The greater the desire for happiness, the greater will be the shadow. Ask for happiness and you will never get it. You will only suffer frustration. Why? Because there is only one way to be happy, and that is to be happy here, now. Happiness is not a result. It is a way of life. Happiness is not the end result of desire. It is an attitude, not a desire. You can be happy here and now if you know how to be, but you will never be happy if you don't know how to be and you go on desiring it. Happiness is an art. It is a way of life. - Osho
   

• One cannot achieve anything through laziness and procrastination. People who desire worldly enjoyment say about spiritual progress: 'Well, it will all happen in time. We shall realize God some time or other.' - Sri Ramakrishna
   

• In identifying ourselves with what we consider to be the greater, we hope to become greater. But we still remain poor; it is only the label that looms large and powerful - Jiddu Krishnamurti
   

• Don't imitate anyone. That is part of ambition. Don't imitate Buddha, don't imitate Jesus. Try to be yourself. Rather, even trying is futile. Just be yourself. When you are yourself, you are open to all possibilities. When you are yourself, the whole existence starts helping you. You are not fighting it. - Osho
   

• You should forget about morality. Conversations about morality are simply empty talk. Your aim is inner morality. - Gurdjieff
   

• Meditation must enter into every corner of our life, otherwise don't meditate, it has no meaning. - Jiddu Krishnamurti
   

• REBIRTH: I died as a mineral and became a plant;
  I died as a plant and rose to animal;
  I died as animal and I was a man.
  Why should I fear? When was I less by dying?
  Yet once more I shall die as man to soar
  With angels blest. But even from an angel
  I must pass on: all except God must perish.
  When I have sacrificed my angel soul,
  I shall become what no mind ever conceived. - Rumi
