"You cannot trade the courage needed to live every moment for amnesty from life's sorrows. Nosotros may say we know this simply ours is the civilisation of the deal-making heed. From infancy, we have breathed in the belief that in that location is e'er a bargain to be made, a bargain to be struck. Eventually, we believe, if we exercise the right thing, if we are good enough, clever enough, sincere enough, work hard enough, we volition be rewarded. At that place are unlike verses to this song - if you are sad for your sins and endeavour hard not to sin once again, y'all volition go to heaven; if y'all practise your daily practise, clean up your diet, heal your inner kid, ferret out all your emotional issue'south, focus your intent, come up into alignment with the globe around you, strop your affirmations, observe and mind to the vocalisation of your college self, y'all will be rewarded with vibrant health, arable prosperity, loving relations and inner peace - in other words, heaven!
We know that what we do and how we retrieve affects the quality of our lives. Many things are clearly upwardly to us. And many others are not. I can see no evidence that the universe works on a simple meritocratic system of cause and effect. Bad things happen to good people - all the time. Monetary success does come up to some who exercise non practise what they love, likewise as to some who are unwilling or unable to run into the impairment they exercise to the planet or others. Illness and misfortune come to some who follow their soul'south desire. Many great artist's have been poor. Great teachers have lived in obscurity.
My invitation, my challenge to you lot hither, is to journey into a deeper intimacy with the world and your life without any promise of prophylactic or guarantee of reward beyond the intrinsic value of full participation."

Želim znati jesi li u stanju vidjeti ljepotu, pa i ako nije lijepa, svakoga dana, i možeš li svoj život nadahnjivati Njezinom prisutnošću.
Želim znati jesi li dovoljno snažan živjeti southward neuspjehom, svojim i mojim, i da svejedno stojiš na rubu jezera i ushićeno vičeš prema srebrnom punom mjesecu: "To!"
Ne zanima me gdje živiš i koliko novaca imaš. Želim znati jesi li sposoban ustati, nakon noći ispunjene tugom i očajem, umoran i do kostiju izubijan, i učiniti sve što je potrebno kako bi nahranio svoju djecu.
Ne zanima me koga poznaješ i kako si dospio ovamo. Želim znati hoćeš li i dalje sa mnom stajati u žaru vatre i ne posustajati.
Ne zanima me gdje si ili što ili southward kim si studirao. Želim znati što te u tebi samom gura naprijed u trenucima kad se sve ostalo ruši.
Želim znati možeš li biti sam sa sobom i voliš li uistinu osobu koja jesi u trenucima praznine."

And I become enlightened that these molecules are alive with a vibration, a presence that is there also in the cells of my pare and in the molecules of those cells and in the atoms and subatomic particles of those. Slowly I plough my attention to an inner view of the mural around and within me, and I become enlightened of this presence, similar the hum of a bully song constantly reverberating throughout and emanating from my torso, the chair supporting me, the basis beneath me, and the people around me. And I know this presence every bit a whole that is larger than the sum of the parts and yet inseparable from the parts—including me—which are in a country of constant change. And I experience this presence, this bloodred thread of beingness that runs through the dark tapestry of daily life, as that which gives me the ability to truly know each other every bit some other myself—equally compassion."
