As our ears adjusted to the cadences and nuances of our teacher's careful English, we have been privileged to learn not only of the wisdom of Ahimsa but have been gifted with tidbits of loving advice as well. Throughout the many lectures, if we listen closely enough, dear Shuganji quips little phrases that remind us how to live simply and happily. His gentle humor and happy chuckle remind me of my dad and bring comfort so many miles from home. Following are a few of my favorite "Shuganisms" from the past two weeks that I'd like to share. If any of you have more, lets keep the list growing!
"Take time to harmonize your thinking."
"It is for us to make effort that peace should prevail."
"Happiness is not something you pray for. Happiness is in the moment."
"We must nurture the mind as a gardener does the small sapling."
"Every day, take a moment to do something compassionate and peaceful for yourself."
"Make time to laugh!"
"In this busy time of rush, rush, rush, we must find time to become calm."
