Wisdom Quote by Lama Surya Das — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Taking the decision-making process away from people disempowers them. It also makes them much less likely to buy into the decision, however right it may be. One’s own conscience remains the ultimate arbiter.”

“The secret, or innermost, level of wisdom is pure intuition, clarity, lucidity, innate wakefulness, presence, and recognition of reality. This transcendental wisdom is within all of us—it just needs to be discovered and developed, unfolded and actualized.”

“In the process of letting go you will lose many things from the past, but you will find yourself.”

“In our society the elderly are regarded as biodegradable and superfluous, instead of what they really represent: a biological elite who, with weathered wisom, have much to offer the world.”

“Be the sacred anchor of light.”

“Morality is temporary, wisdom is permanent.”

“The main thing about ghosts – most of them have lost their voices. In Asphodel, millions of them wander around aimlessly, trying to remember who they were. You know why they end up like that?

If you don’t use it,’ Nico said with a shrug, ‘you’re halfway to Asphodel already.’”

“Humans will never be in charge of this world, as long as dust and weeds do as they please.”
