"Happiness doesn´t reside in the possession of gold,
the feeling of happiness resides alone in the soul. "
-Demokrit (460-370 BC), Greek philosopher-
"Happiness and joy of life follows a man who acts according to his dharma.
To act according to his dharma,
is the highest form of intelligence a person is capable of.
Dharma is the manifestation of the least resistance in everything one does,
but dharma is never the avoidance of effort or action."
-Peter Peer Rohr-
INDEPENDENCE
The ULTIMATE PATH to HAPPINESS
"If you don´t run your own destiny, someone else will.”
-Bob Marley-
"A life that is either under the control of another person
or under the control of an external influence (society, natural constant)
is destined to suffer and destined to misfortune.
He should take pains to avoid any activity under another person´s control,
but he should take pains to engage in any activity under his own control.
Only a life that is under the control of one's own self,
will have a chance to experience happiness and fulfilment.”
-Manu Smriti-
SELF-REALIZATION
The ULTIMATE KEY to HAPPINESS
"Again, you have the idea that only certain people
hold the key to the Kingdom of Happiness. No one holds it.
No one has the authority to hold that key.
That key is your own self, and in the development and the purification
and in the incorruptibility of that Self alone is the Kingdom of Eternity....
You have been accustomed of being told
how far you have advanced, what is your spiritual status.
How childish!
Who but yourself can tell you if you are incorruptible?"
-Jiddu Krishnamurti-
"You know, if we understand one question rightly, all questions are answered.
But we don't know how to ask the right question.
To ask the right question demands a great deal of intelligence and sensitivity.
Here is a question, a fundamental question: is life a torture?
It is, as it is; and man has lived in this torture centuries upon centuries,
from ancient history to the present day, in agony, in despair,
in sorrow; and he doesn't find a way out of it.
Therefore, he invents gods, churches, all the rituals,
and all that nonsense, or he escapes in different ways.
What we are trying to do, during all these discussions and talks here,
is to see if we cannot radically bring about a transformation of the mind,
not accept things as they are, nor revolt against them.
Revolt doesn't answer a thing. You must understand it, go into it,
examine it, give your heart and your mind, with everything that you have,
to find out a way of living differently.
That depends on you, and not on someone else,
because in this there is no teacher, no pupil; there is no leader;
there is no guru; there is no Master, no Saviour.
You yourself are the teacher and the pupil; you are the Master; you are the guru;
you are the leader; you are everything.
And to understand is to transform what is."
-Jiddu Krishnamurti-
HOW to CREATE a HAPPY BODY?
"Happiness is not a matter of intensity
but of balance and order and rhythm and harmony.”
-Thomas Merton-
"He whose doshas are in balance and functioning normally,
whose appetite is good, and whose elimination functions are normal (mala)
... whose body, mind, and senses remain full of bliss, is called a healthy person."
-Sushruta-
HOW to CREATE a HAPPY SOCIETY?
"To be wealthy and honoured in an unjust society is a disgrace.”
-Confucius-
"To put the world in order, we must first put the nation in order;
to put the nation in order, we must first put the family in order;
to put the family in order; we must first cultivate our personal life;
we must first set our hearts right.”
-Confucius-
How to CREATE a HAPPY and SANE WORLD?
"I doubt if a single individual could be found from the whole of mankind
free from some form of insanity. The only difference is one of degree.”
-Desiderius Erasmus-
"Correcting oneself is correcting the whole world.
The Sun is simply bright. It does not correct anyone.
Because it shines, the whole world is full of light.
Transforming yourself is a means of giving light to the whole world.
Your own Self-Realization is the greatest service you can render the world.”
-Ramana Maharshi-
HOW to EXPERIENCE AUTHENTIC LOVE?

The SECRET of FULFILMENT of DESIRE

You don´t attract what you want.
You always attract what and who you are.”
-Peter Peer Rohr-
"Indecisiveness towards the goals of life we choose
and the lack of perseverance are the main causes of all our misfortune!"
-Joseph Addison (1672 - 1719), English diplomat, scholar and essayist-
HOW can I MAKE MY own SOUL HAPPY?
"The solution is not in outside things
but in the very core of our soul."
-Theresia von Lesieux-
"What is the need of the soul?
That we deny our own soul to participate in the evolutionary process.
The soul is locked in the prison of the body.
Since the soul (para-jiva) is an inseparable part of the paramatman,
the soul is the source of all power and all knowledge,
its nature is absolute bliss and infinite energy.
Through para processing and para-kaivalya
the soul can liberate itself from bondage.
Once the soul releases itself from its body prison,
she will dance with joy celebrating her liberation.
Para processing and para-kaivalya are the saviours of the soul."
-Peter Peer Rohr-
"There is no friend bigger than your own soul.
No specific culture, religion or way of life
is particularly conducive to the realization of the dharma of the soul.
Neither turning away from the world nor exercising
spiritual techniques and religious rituals have some meaning.
Alone the direct connection with the paramatman and
the authentic communication with the soul empowers the soul,
to recognize itself, to develop its potential,
and to fulfil its own destination."
-Peter Peer Rohr-
