Destiny

There is no destiny beyond and above ourselves, we are ourselves the architects of our future. All disturbances and challenges rise not only from our relationship with others, but in our attitude to all other things and beings.

Mind can make a Hell of Heaven, or a Heaven of Hell.

Character is formed from the repeated choice of thoughts and action.

The secrets of action is to get established in equanimity, renouncing all egocentric attachments, and forgetting to worry over our success and failures.

To give love is the true Freedom; To demand love is the oure Slavery.

Quotations from Swami Chinmayananda's writtings
