Kintsugi (“golden joinery”) is the ancient Japanese art of repairing what has been broken. When a ceramic piece breaks, the masters of kintsugi repair it with gold, leaving the reconstruction highly visible because, for them, a reconstructed piece is a symbol of fragility, strength, and beauty.

Krishna:The Man and His Philosophy by Osho

OSHO continues to inspire millions of people worldwide in their search to define a new approach to individual spirituality that is self-directed and responds to the everyday challenges of contemporary life. His unique perspective encompasses both the timeless wisdom of the East and the highest potential of Western science and technology, and he was named by The Sunday Times of London as one of the “1000 Makers of the 20th Century.” The American novelist Tom Robbins has called him “the most dangerous man since Jesus Christ.”

"The mind is like a bird, flying in the sky of consciousness. It is affected by the clouds of sense objects, but it should not be caught by them."

The word karma is used in Vedanta in more senses than one. karma primarily means “action.” It also signifies the destiny forged by one in one’s past incarnation or present: the store of tendencies, impulses, characteristics and habits, which determine one’s future embodiment and environment. Another meaning of karma, often used in reference to one’s caste or position in life, is ritual, the course of conduct, which one ought to follow in pursuance of the tendencies acquired in the past, with a view to work them out.

There is a difference between attachment and caring. Care for your body, don’t be attached to your body; care your family, but don’t be attached to your family. The moment you care, you will contribute; the moment you care, you will connect wisely. The moment you are attached, your subject gets superimposed on the object. Attachment speaks of your qualities that you nourish; attachment speaks of the lower center in you. Caring speaks of the higher centers in you. The lower center operates from attachment while the higher center operates from caring energy.

Upanishad Wisdom

That in whom reside all beings and who resides in all beings, who is the giver of grace to all, the Supreme Soul of the universe, the limitless being
— I am that.

Self-luminous Atman, by the power of its own Maya imagines itself in itself. He alone is aware of the objects. This is the conclusion of the Vedanta

The more expectations you have for a relationship, the more likely it is to go awry.
When a relationship feels difficult, examine it closely.
Might it be that one of you is expecting too much?

 “Before a dream is realized, the Soul of the World tests everything that was learned along the way. It does this not because it is evil, but so that we can, in addition to realizing our dreams, master the lessons we’ve learned as we’ve moved toward that dream. That’s the point at which most people give up.”

One day, I asked Granny, “Why do these snakes have to lose their skin?” Her reply was full  of wisdom. I realize now that she was speaking of more than snakes. 
“If snakes do not shed their skin,” she replied, 
“they cannot grow. They will suffocate in their old skin.” I often remember her words. Today we too need to grow.

An exceptional relationship is not
one with a good beginning
but one with a good ending.
Relationships often begin accidentally,
but when it comes to ending them,
we usually have choices.
Choose the ending wisely.

Only when the mind is still, tranquil, not expecting or grasping or resisting a single thing, is it possible to see what is true. It is the truth that liberates, not your effort to be free.

Sometimes, you just need to breath, trust, let go and see what happens.

— Spiritual Quote

@SpiritualLibrary @Spiritual_Library_bot

Sastric (scriptural) knowledge is unlimited, and the arts to be learned are many; the time we have is short, and our opportunities to learn are beset with obstacles. Therefore select for learning that which is most important, just as the swan drinks only the milk in water.

Emotions energize the area of focus. If you want to get somewhere in a hurry, just add some emotional energy to it. Emotion shortens the distance between the experience and the experiencer, between the dreamer and the desired.

The first veil to vanish is ignorance; and when that is gone, unskilful behavior goes; next desire ceases, selfishness ends, and all misery disappears.

— Upanishads

@SpiritualLibrary @Spiritual_Library_bot

Mindfulness gives you the inner space and quietness that allow you to look deeply, to find out who you are and what you want to do with your life. You won’t feel the need to make yourself run after meaningless pursuits anymore. You’ve been running, looking for something, because you think that thing is crucial for your peace and happiness. You push yourself to achieve this and that condition so that you can be happy. You believe you don’t have enough conditions to be happy right now, and so you develop the habit many people have, of constantly running after one thing or another. “I cannot be peaceful now, I cannot stop and enjoy things now, because I need more conditions before I can be happy.” You actually stifle the natural joie de vivre that is your birthright. But life is full of wonders, including wondrous sounds. If you can be here, if you can be free, then you can be happy right here and right now. You don’t have to run anymore.
