The golden way is to be friends with the world
and to regard the whole human family as one.

Life is an endless voyage!! A voyage for which even the skilled mariner cant build a compass predicting the exact directions it may take! No cartographer has ever drawn an atlas locating the territories we may travel to! Because in the voyage of life your fortunes will travel up north one Sunday and on Monday it will head south bringing you misfortunes! You might have planned ahead to reach the summit but the voyage of life would have another plans taking you to uncharted territories when you least expect it! The Schools or the Streets don’t provide you answers for the questions life throws at you!! Not Self help books but the Past masters who summed up the meaning of life succinctly in beautiful verses are your Beacons of Hope here! Through their clairvoyance they convey great lessons about what really matters in life aphoristically but cryptically of course!!

Mother Teresa
उद्धरेदात्मनाऽऽत्मानं नात्मानमवसादयेत्।
आत्मैव ह्यात्मनो बन्धुरात्मैव रिपुरात्मनः।।6.5।।
uddharedaatmanaatmaanam naatmaanamavasaadayet |
aatmaiva hyaatmano bandhuraatmaiva ripuraatmanaha || 6.5 ||
Translation:
Uplift yourself by yourself, do not deprecate yourself.
For only you are your friend, and only you are your enemy.
Meaning:
In order to progress in the spiritual path, in fact, any undertaking, we have to lift ourselves by our own efforts. We are our own friend if we do so, and if we don’t, we become our own enemy. In other words, our success and failure is entirely in our hands. No other person can help or hurt us.

The Bhagavad Gita:

❤️❤️– Rumi
Look up,
laugh loud,
talk big
, keep the color in your cheek
and the fire in your eye,
adorn your person,
your beauty and your animal spirits.

William Hazlitt
Thomas Edison
Everything can be taken from a man but one thing:
the last of human freedoms –
to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances,
to choose one’s own way.
Viktor E. Frankl
