Life is not about peace, but if you do not know peace, you will never know life.

Let the light of clarity, joy, and aliveness shine bright in your life. May you have a cracker of a Deepavali.  

Wherever you are, whatever you are exposed to, pick up the best from every situation. Then life is learning.

If someone is nasty to you, first try love. If that does not work, compassion. If that does not work, distance.

Whatever you have to do right now, do it with absolute involvement. Only then will you know the sweetness of what it means to be conscious.
