Om Swami
“We can change our habits. We needn’t be at the mercy of thoughts like ‘that’s just my personality’ or ‘it’s in my genes so there’s nothing I can do about it’. Negative habits can be replaced with positive ones, selfish ones with kind ones, suspicion with trust, hostility with empathy and complaints with gratitude. – David R. Hamilton, Why Kindness is Good for You”
Om Swami, The Book of Kindness: How to Make Others Happy and Be Happy Yourself

Om Swami
“And that’s the thing, you see – when I talk about kindness, I’m not simply saying you should be kind to others. That comes a step later. First, you must be grateful to those who are kind to you. No matter how small an act of kindness may be on the other’s part, if you don’t hold back in expressing your gratitude, if you deeply appreciate what they have done or are trying to do, you will be bringing a lifelong positive change in the other person’s life. This will not only help them and yourself, but also the whole world.”
Om Swami, The Book of Kindness: How to Make Others Happy and Be Happy Yourself

Amish Tripathi
“But karma should not be the centre of our lives. If we truly discover our Being, our Swatatva, and live in consonance with what we are meant to be, then everything becomes easy. We don’t have to try hard to carry out our karma. Because we will not do anything in the vain hope of something else. We will do it simply because it is in consonance with our Being. With what we were born to Be.”
Amish Tripathi, Raavan: Enemy of Aryavarta

Ajay K. Pandey
“Silence is not the absence of something, but the presence of everything.”
Ajay K. Pandey, You are the Best Friend

Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni
“it’s not enough to merely love someone. Even if we love them with our entire being, even if we’re willing to commit the most heinous sin for their well-being. We must understand and respect the values that drive them. We must want what they want, not what we want for them.”
Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni, The Forest of Enchantments
