Ilness Quotes

“Life is too short to have debts and doubts,
Pay the bills, no regrets, be up and about.”
― Ana Claudia Antunes, The Tao of Physical and Spiritual

“Ilness is not a test of willpower to be concered by an assertion of will but a matter of fact.”
― Oliver Kamm, Mending the Mind: The Art and Science of Overcoming Clinical Depression

“There is only one victory in life and that is to attain inner bliss. One can have all the money, power, status, wealth and  possessions of the world, but still live in misery.
The wise man will not waste a single moment. His whole life will be a concentrated effort to attain blissfulness. Unless you attain bliss, you will have to come back again and again to the body. You will have to be born again and again. You will have to go through the whole of life and death again. 
Life is like a school. If you fail, you will have to go back to the same school again. If you pass, there is no need to come back. Only a man who has become awakened never comes back to the world., Then he lives in eternity. He lives in a bodiless immortality. He becomes part of the whole. He becomes oceanic, vast.  
The body is a confinement, The body has limitations. And growing up includes the frustrations of life, diseases, illnesses and old age. And they go on until you die. 
The body is a confinement, which is why the whole effort of meditation is to give you an experience of bodilessness. It gives you the experience of going beyond the body. It gives you the feeling of your consciousness. To know your consciousness is to know the unbounded, the infinite and the immortal. ”
― Swami Dhyan Giten, The Way of the Heart
