Life has intrinsic value, there is no goal outside it.
Hence my whole effort is to change everything into playfulness.
To me that is real spirituality.

Real happiness
It is a basic human need that everyone wants to live a happy life.
For this, one has to experience real happiness.
The so-called happiness that one experiences by having money, power, and indulging in sensual pleasures is not real happiness. It is very fragile, unstable and fleeting.
For real happiness, for lasting stable happiness, one has to make a journey deep within oneself and get rid of all the unhappiness stored in the deeper levels of the mind. As long as there is misery at the depth of the mind all attempts to feel happy at the surface level of the mind prove futile.
_S.N. Goenka_
Destiny
Watch your thoughts, they become words.
Watch your words, they become actions.

Watch your habits, they become character.
Watch your character, it becomes your destiny.
_Lao Tzu_

And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand
And Eternity in an hour.”

Silence
Silence is golden; it has divine power and immense energy. Try to pay more attention to the silence than to the sounds. Paying attention to outer silence creates inner silence: then mind becomes still. Every sound is born out of silence, dies back into silence and during its life span is surrounded by silence. Silence enables the sound to be. It is an intrinsic but unmanifested part of every sound, every musical note, every song, and every word. The unmanifested is present in this world as silence. All you have to do is pay attention to it.
