    “When meditation is mastered,
    The mind is unwavering like the
    Flame of a lamp in a windless place.
    In the still mind,
    In the depths of meditation,
    The Self reveals itself.
    Beholding the Self
    By means of the Self,
    An aspirant knows the
    Joy and peace of complete fulfillment.
    Having attained that
    Abiding joy beyond the senses,
    Revealed in the stilled mind,
    He never swerves from the eternal truth.”
    ― Bhagavad Gita

    C. JoyBell C.
    “Flowers that are offered for the dead, do not know the difference of where their beauty will be placed, they do not say, "This is not a palace" or "This is not a garden"; they just are. They are just beautiful, without giving regards to whether they are placed on a grave or in a castle. Flowers are just beautiful, whether they grow by the wayside or in a manicured garden. If we were all like flowers, then we would all be beautiful, with no regards to why or how. We just are. We are just beautiful.”
