The Enlightened Life is both Powerful and Detached

After we become enlightened or after we’ve practiced meditation, we truly don’t desire anything. But we can do things even more and more wholeheartedly than we could before because we have greater power of concentration. Yet that doesn’t mean we’re more ambitious, or that we’re still the way we were before. It’s not the same.

I’m really not very good at explaining this! But why should we explain anything at all? Just live! You know, life is simple; it’s very simple!

Faith Can Move Inner Mountains

If you’re really sincere in your heart and have humility and rely only on the Master power, without ego, you can do anything and you can influence many people. But unfortunately, not everyone has such faith.

If you really believe in what you believe in, you can move mountains. These mountains aren’t physical heaps of dirt over there. These mountains are inside people’s minds, and so are more difficult to move.
