Timong Lightbringer: The Book of Freedom

* * *

Life for yourself is celebration of ego. Life for others is celebration of slavery. The wise does not live for someone.

* * *

Until the last enemy inside is defeated, battles are inevitable. Until there is peace inside you, you will always bring wars with you. It’s only possible to win yourself having surrendered to existence.

* * *

When the last particle of “I” disappears, a return to a source becomes possible. When return to a source is performed, the human as we know it is no more.

There is no river without a source. The river, flowing through desert, is doomed to wither. The river without inflows can become a stream. The great rivers feed the seas.

* * *

Being useless for others, you are doomed to loneliness. Being useful to yourself you will once again find the whole new world of friends.

* * *

The happiness comes without achievements. The joy comes without prayers. The grass grows by itself. The true believe is not fanaticism.

* * *

Thousands of ways lead away and only one – to yourself. But to find one, you will have to pass through thousands.

* * *

The one chosen better way will reach destination faster than those chosen the worst. Yet both will once come to the same point.

* * *

Each beginning becomes the end, and each end becomes the new beginning. The question on existence of the beginning of the beginnings remains opened.

* * *

The past was the present. The future becomes the present. Only present always remains itself.

* * *

What was absurd yesterday, today became the nature law. Laws change - the nature remains the same.

* * *

Water sharpens a stone, making it’s smooth. Water washes stone coast, making its soft. Life will teach everyone, capable of learning.

* * *

You will create hatred, harming. You will create hatred, aiding. The love of others grows in your ability to aid yourself.

* * *

Trying to become better, you may not make it. Wishing to know more, you may not learn it. The true comprehension happens suddenly.

* * *

It is possible to come, having overcome all obstacles. It is possible to reach only by not considering them as those.

* * *

The joyful will not notice obstacles. The sad will exaggerate them. Only calm clearly sees all his path.

* * *

Time changes countries. Time changes worlds. Time changes Universes. Are their changes relative if the time itself is relative ?

* * *

Life can destroy your achievements. Life can uplift you. Only those passed the first and the second can learn calmness.

* * *

You cannot run faster than yourself. You cannot run slower than yourself. Everyone travels with its own speed.

* * *

It is easy to evade from fight. It is difficult to avoid it. The true warrior wins without battling.

* * *

Life demands movement. Life never stops. The one stopped voluntary shortens his own.

* * *

It is impossible to remember what was thousand years ago. It is impossible to know what will be thousand years afterwards. Only the present matters.

* * *

When the peace reigns around – observe. When war storms rage nearby – observe. Only the one who saw both war and peace can learn temporariness of both. Only the one who saw both grief and happiness can learn the value of calmness.

* * *

The one blinded by happiness may not see the danger. The one blinded by anger punished himself for errors of another. Only the free is capable to find a right combination of the first and the second.

* * *

Failure gives rise to grief. Achievement of goal produces boredom. Only by refusing petty goals it’s possible to feel fullness of life.

* * *

One can disbelieve in paradise – and still live in it. One can deny hell – and still live in it. The true hell and paradise is a hell and paradise of the present.

* * *

It’s possible to trust something – and know nothing about it. It’s possible to believe in something – and never learn it. Only by rejecting blind belief it’s possible to test it on yourself.

* * *

It’s hard to accept something that changes a world picture. It’s impossible to accept something that destroys it. It’s expensive to buy new one. Only creative one is capable of making its own.

* * *

The blind belief leads to intolerance. The wonderful hope can be broken. Only love is capable to accept crash of hope and to transform belief into trust.

* * *

The one who destroyed God is doomed to loneliness. The one who created God outside is doomed to slavery. Only the one who have discovered God in himself becomes truly free.

* * *

Thousands of reasons create grief. Hundreds of reasons create delight. True joy needs no reasons.

* * *

Existence knows nothing about our plans. Existence does not take our expectations into consideration. Only those having no plans and expectations are capable to learn fullness of life.

* * *

Blind ones call themselves as clearly seeing. Deaf ones call themselves as those who have heard the voice. Dead ones call themselves normal. Will there be a place for healthy ones in a world of sick ?

* * *

Capitulation is a victory, and the victory is possible only in capitulation. Only the learnt will confirm these words.

* * *

The heavy stone sinks in a river of time – and waters of the river sharpen it. There is no instant justice.

* * *

It is possible to pass by road of life and to reach last point. It is possible to creep windbreaks and bogs to come to the same road again. Not any experience is valuable for a way.

* * *

The consciousness is capable to age and rejuvenate. For the one who has found a child in himself time is ready to turn back.

* * *

When both the past and the future disappears, only present remains. When there is only present – the time is no more.

* * *

It’s impossible to predict the duration of own life, but one can choose its width. The one who chosen the wide road will have more fellow travellers.

It’s impossible to feel taste and distinguish flashing landscapes of own life, moving with too high speed. The one hastening to live is hastening to die.

Ignorance of the general traffic regulation, as well as ignoring of other moving ones can become a cause of accident. The understanding of rules and psychology of those moving comes with experience.

Everyone starts from his last point. The point of destination is same for all.

* * *

It’s possible to travel own road, creeping. It’s possible to pass it on foot. One can soar high and fly through it. Both three options lead to one point, but only from height of the bird's flight all way is clearly visible.

* * *

Nobody came back from death doors in the same kind as he entered it. Either there was nobody to come back, or one’s clothes were different.

* * *

When you approach the border of own "I", a chasm of despair reveals before you.

When you see events and people of the past, now forever left far behind, and rush in a search of irrevocably lost, a chasm of despair lives nearby.

When you realize all senselessness of former life without awakening, a chasm of despair opens under your feet.

When you understand that it will be impossible to return, once started travelling your way, but only accelerate your steps – you accept a chasm of despair.

There is a bridge through a chasm, but it passable only alone. Those fallen into a chasm and those crossed the bridge to the end never return.

* * *

The one aspiring to slow down time will not be in time. The one hurrying events will not be in time. Only the one going with natural speed of his Way always comes and leaves in time.
