The True Men Of Old Slept Without Dreams And Waked Up Quotes

Two things always in life to be remembered :
1. Don't take any decision when you are angry and
2. Don't make any promise when you are happy ..

There is an original nature in things.
Things in their original nature are curved without the help of arcs,
straight without lines, round without compasses, and
rectangular without squares;
they are joined together without glue and
hold together without cords.
In this manner all things live and grow from an inner urge and
none can tell how they come to do so.

केवल वह व्यक्ति जो भय को पार कर चुका है
समता को अनुभव कर सकता है ..

Blessed are those who can give without remembering

A famous soldier came to the master Hakuin and asked:
"Master, tell me: is there really a heaven and a hell?"

"Who are you?" asked Hakuin.

"I am a soldier of the great Emperor's personal guard."

"Oho!" said Hakuin.
"So you have a sword!
I'll wager it's much too dull to cut my head off!"

At this the soldier could not hold himself back.
He drew his sword and threatened the master, who said:
"Now you know half the answer! You are opening the gates of hell!"

The soldier drew back, sheathed his sword, and bowed.
"Now you know the other half," said the master.
"You have opened the gates of heaven ."
