I cannot wish you ..I cannot wish you good fortuneknowing that good fortune is what you are, while bad fortune is just a mistaken identity I cannot wish you all the things of earthsince earth itself is yours and that is sufficient, while all the rest will never be enough I cannot wish you the things you want to see when much unseen is also here waiting for your denial of mind that refuses to see I cannot wish you strength or courage to conquer the troubles and tribulations of lifebecause you alone are the master of limits and imaginary lines I cannot wish you an easy and safe path in all your venturessafe and easy paths are unworthy of the worthy I cannot wish you any kind of freedom you may seeklife is the proof of freedom ; seeking is your prison ; expectations are your guards I cannot wish you any kind of happinessheart is too blind to be content in the certainty of reality, excellence and immortality of things I cannot wish you good health the voice within asking ever provoking questions is your health ; fear that silences you is your illness I cannot wish you anythingas long as life is about being instead of having Maybe holiday season is just not about wishes and celebration at allmaybe, just maybe, it is just a reminder about the power of state of mind What else than state of mind can make things look beautiful when in fact they are uglywhat else than state of mind can make things look ugly when in fact they are beautiful Let the New Year be the year in which we choose to be the masters of the mind and not its slave.

About This Quote

Many people have wished me to have a long, healthy life full of happiness, peace, contentment and prosperity. They have asked me to be grateful for all that I have. And I do feel grateful for the things that are given to me every day. I have no complaints.

I am happy to be alive, healthy, and living in this world with all that it has to offer. It is beautiful. But what about all the things that God has not given us? What about all the things that we do not receive? All the things that happen to us? All the things we do not accomplish? All the things we cannot control? What about our parents’ health; our children’s lives; our friends’ souls; our pets’ lives; our ancestors’ funerals; the weather; people who are suffering; people who are sick; people who are poor; people who are lying; people who are greedy; people who act selfishly; people who act unkindly toward us or others around them … We may be grateful for what we have but we should also be grateful for what we don't have.

Gratitude is also an attitude of mind which makes everything seem better than it actually is.
