By Abu Bakr
Where there are sheep, the wolves are never very far away.
It’s not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters.
What goes around comes back around.
A man is born alone and dies alone; And he experiences the good and bad consequences of his karma alone; And he goes alone to hell or the supreme abode.
Karma brings us ever back to rebirth, binds us to the wheel of births and deaths. Good karma drags us back as relentlessly as bad, and the chain which is wrought out of our virtues holds as firmly and as closely as that forged from our vices.
If I used justice, you’d all be dead. The karma that you throw at me when you don’t like me, if I just let it come back, you’d all be destroyed in no time.
When a bird is alive, it eats ants. When bird dies, ants eat it. One tree can be made into million matchsticks but only one matchstick is enough to burn million trees. Circumstances can change at any time. You may be powerful today but time is more powerful than you.
You will not be punished for your anger, you will be punished by your anger.
The people who fight fire with fire, usually end up with ashes.
The axe forgets, but the tree remembers.
Realize that everything connects to everything else.
What you do not want done to yourself, do not do to others.
What seems to be coming at you is really coming from you.
Whether or not we believe in survival of consciousness after death, reincarnation, and karma, it has very serious implications for our behavior.
When I die, I hope to go to Heaven, whatever the Hell that is.
The purpose of morality is to teach you, not to suffer and die, but to enjoy yourself and live.
I could die for you. But I couldn’t, and wouldn’t, live for you.
Achieving life is not the equivalent of avoiding death.
We were strange in love, her and I. Too wild to last, too rare to die.
I promise to live a life so rich of love that at the end I will not be so shy of death.
