“Give up defining yourself - to yourself or to others. You won't die. You will come to life. And don't be concerned with how others define you. When they define you, they are limiting themselves, so it's their problem. Whenever you interact with people, don't be there primarily as a function or a role, but as the field of conscious Presence. You can only lose something that you have, but you cannot lose something that you are.”

“Love is not selective, just as the light of the sun is not selective. It does not make one person special. It is not exclusive. Exclusivity is not the love of God but the "love" of
ego. However, the intensity with which true love is felt can vary. There may be one person who reflects your love back to you more clearly and more intensely than others, and if that person feels the same toward you, it can be said that you are in a love relationship with him or her. The bond that connects you with that person is the same bond that connects you with the person sitting next to you on a bus, or with a bird, a tree, a flower. Only the degree of intensity with which it is felt differs.”
― Eckhart Tolle, The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment

“Pleasure is always derived from something outside you, whereas joy arises from within.”

“لم تقل أمي لضيف
هذا سريره فلا تنم عليه.
و لم تنبه أختٌ زوجها
كي لا يرتدي قميصي
و لم يقل الأب للعائلة:

لا تأكلوا .. انتظروا حتى يأتي !

ولم تقل أختٌ لأختها
لا تفتحي الباب عليه فهو نائم
و لم تقل لصديقتها :

حاذري.. إنها زجاجة عطره !

و لم ينبهن أولادهن
كي لا يمزقوا كتبي ودفاتري

لم يقل أحد شيئاً
غير أنهم جميعاً يعتقدون ,
بل و يقولون للأغراب -بحسرة- :

أنهم لا يملكون في هذه الدنيا البائسة شيئاَ سواي !”
― لقمان ديركي, كما لو أنك ميت

“لماذا
أقنعتِ من تحبين
بأنك ما أحببتني يوماً ؟

― لقمان ديركي, وحوش العاطفة
