Restlessness

I asked Baba Gee, “Sir, why we feel restlessness? Why there are so much worries around us that we are unable to sit with satisfaction and peace in heart?”
He replied, ” Look! Don’t keep your bundle of problems in front of you,
take them to Allah.
He will solve them. You struggle to solve those problems
all by yourself, but you will not be able to solve them.

~Ashfaq Ahmed

Belief

“ I don’t believe in failure, because simply by saying you’ve failed, you’ve admitted you attempted. And anyone who attempts is not a failure. Those who truly fail in my eyes are the ones who never try at all. The ones who sit on the couch and whine and moan and wait for the world to change for them.”

~ Keeping the Moon – Sarah Dessen

The Truth

“If you shut up truth and bury it under the ground,
it will but grow, and gather to itself such explosive power that the day it bursts through
will blow up everything in its way.”

~Emile Zola

Reality Of Person

‎”The reality of the other person lies not in what he reveals to you, but what he cannot reveal to you. Therefore, if you would understand him, listen not to what he says, but rather to what he does not say.”

– Khalil Gibran

Feelings & Action

” Action seems to follow feeling, but really action and feeling go together; and by regulating the action, which is under the more direct control of the will, we can indirectly regulate the feeling, which is not. ”

~William James

Magic In Books

One glance at a book and you hear the voice of another person -perhaps someone dead for thousands of years. Across the millenia, the author is speaking, clearly and silently, inside your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people, citizens of distant epochs, who never knew one another. Books break the shackles of time.

~Carl Sagan

“Fairy tales are more than true; not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.”

― G.K. Chesterton

“Some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again.”

~C.S. Lewis
