Book: Joy. The happiness that comes from within

Remember this: nobody else can decide for you. All other commandments, all orders, all morality will only cripple you. You have to decide for themselves, you have to take your life into your own hands. Otherwise life will continue to knock on doors, and you will never have at home - you will always be somewhere else.

In this world there is only one happiness and that happiness is to be yourself. And since no one can be me, all trying to somehow hide behind masks, pretense, hypocrisy. All ashamed of who they are. <...>
You have learned everything except to be yourself. The most ugly of all possible form of society, because it makes everyone unhappy. To be who you really are, be with those who want to do what you want, all these things are the basis of all your suffering.

If you don't want darkness, bring light. If you want darkness turn the light off. But do something with the light; directly in the dark nothing can be done.

At this very moment you can drop all problems because they all created by you.

Happiness is where you are, where you are, there is happiness. It surrounds you; it is a natural phenomenon. It is just like air, just like the sky.
