If only we could be enlightened enough to be able to listen in the silence.
Paulo Coelho
Image
Outer beauty is inner beauty made visible, and it manifests itself in the light that flows in our eyes.
Paulo Coelho

Paulo Coelho

The enemy is only a pretext to test our strength
Paulo Coelho

A Warrior of Light needs love. Love and affection are part of his nature. He makes use of solitude, but is not used by it.
Paulo Coelho
Image

Paulo Coelho
Image
The present moment, though, is outside of time, it’s Eternity. In India they use the word “karma” for lack of any better term. But it’s a concept that’s rarely given a proper explanation. It isn’t what you did in the past that will affect the present. It’s what you do in the present that will redeem the past and thereby change the future.
