“It is a natural human reaction for you to wish to correct others when you see them making a mistake or doing something differently than you would have done it. It is far more difficult to control the impulse to show them how much more intelligent you are. The ability to recognize and control such impulses marks the beginning of the development of wisdom. A wise person knows that when he shows his intelligence with the actions he takes, others learn a far more valuable and lasting lesson. If you see someone who could benefit from your advice, you can gently lead him to a more appropriate conclusion by asking open-ended, nonjudgmental questions. Let others find the flaws in their reasoning by leading them logically through the process. As Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “The secret of education lies in respecting the pupil.” “

“If you want to be happy, do not dwell in the past, do not worry about the future, focus on living fully in the present.”

“If you can’t fly then run, if you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.”

“No one should tell you your own reality. They can point to where it might be found, as someone can point to where the bathroom is; but nobody should tell you what to do when you get there because that’s your business. The same thing holds for Soul transcendence. We tell you how to go inside. When you get in there, that’s your business. You’re free.”
— John-Roger
