When a worldly man is miserable, he blames the people around him, the system, and the world in general. When a seeker is miserable, he blames not only the world — he also blames the Path, the Knowledge, and himself. It is better not to be a seeker so that you blame less... A certain level of maturity is needed to see things as they are and not to blame the Path, the Self, or the world. Sri Sri Ravishankar
We often add to our pain and suffering by being overly sensitive, overreacting to minor things, and sometimes taking things too personally. We tend to take small things too seriously and blow them out of proportion. The Dalai Lama
It's of no use holding others responsible for your ruin, destruction... because whatever happens to you is the result of something bad you've done someone, somewhere in the past. The person who has harmed you is only the medium through which God has managed to teach you the lesson. Anjleena Khunger, A TOI reader
People ask you for criticism, but they only want praise. W Somerset Maugham
