“There is absolutely nothing in this world to be excited about, nothing. For everything must change. Therefore if you become excited about something in this world you become confused, disillusioned, upset, for all things are subject to the law of change. Rather go within. If you can really go within you will feel a peace which passeth all understanding.

Divine joy and this peace and joy will become your world. You will see it wherever you look, wherever you go. Remember the only thing you see in this world is yourself, nothing else. Wherever you look you see yourself. If you don’t like what you see change yourself. Nothing wants to hurt you. Nothing wants to cause you pain.”

~ Robert Adams (20th century American Advaita mystic)
