The greatest suffering comes from the small mind

The greatest suffering comes from the small mind.  The greatest peace comes from the nothing that simplicity affords.  Every idea is capable.  All condescension is incapable. 

Release must initiate from the heart; surrender, always from the mind.  Let go.  It is not a rope that your fingers tear at; it is simply a dream that has run its course.  It is time that you stand and leave the theater and walk away into the sun, into the life-beloved.  And bring all of your dreams that, like some great story house, will become your world, your home, your house. 

It takes no strength to stand against the many, when one is God self-realized.  It takes the strength of a God to face the world when one is unsure.  Look at your lives—all of them—and forget them.  They were very nice at one time.  But even time is an illusion.  And the only illusion worthwhile is the truth.  And the truth is love.  And what does that make you?   
Buddha
