Everyone feels some jealousy, some anger, and some hostility. Don't feel guilty. But to allow them to become dominant expressions of your way of life is off the wall.

Frederick Lenz
Image
All incarnations are lived at once, and yet there does seem to be a linear sense of time when you're in the vortex of time and space, when your consciousness is fixated in a body.
Frederick Lenz
Image
There are those who feel that meditation is unrealistic or takes them out of the world, and if that was your experience with mediation, you weren't meditating.
Frederick Lenz
Image
The directions for meditation that Sri Krishna gives are very exacting. He tells Arjuna exactly how to get past all the things that cause suffering and transient pleasure to something that is perpetual ecstasy. His directions are that exact.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Learn to accept the transitory nature of existence of the body and the mind see eternity in everything, this world, the other worlds, and nirvana.
Frederick Lenz
Image
You don't have to do anything to meditate. That's what makes it so difficult. Everybody wants to do something.
Frederick Lenz
Image
We have two choices in life: One is to fulfill ourselves. The other is to take the time and energy that we would utilize in fulfilling ourselves and use it to make others happy.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Everyone will admire you when you do well. What a horrible thing to do to someone.
Frederick Lenz
Image
Real humility is something that no one else will see. No one will know about your humility, if it's real.
