Quotes from Carole Satyamurti

This is our task: be serene at all times, do not be vengeful, nor scorn your enemy; speak truthfully, befriend the virtuous, be equable in the face of disaster. Be aware that everything must pass, just as clouds arise, drift, and disperse, so do not seek to cling to anything.

One in whom goodness is dominant moves through the world as a swan does through water, never drenched or dragged down, but rather buoyant, tranquil, treating all experience equally. That person generates virtue as a spider spins its threads. Such a person knows true happiness.

Success on earth rests on both fate and effort. One cannot change the course of destiny but heroic acts can achieve wonders;

The world is caught up by appearances, dazzled by their infinite variety, snared by illusion, endlessly distracted, and does not recognize me, the eternal principle that connects the humblest flower with the grandeur of the constellations.

Don't be afraid to make a poem raw as sandpaper. And even though a million protests, twice as many feet, couldn't stop a war, get out there with your small voice, your light tread.
