Birth is suffering, sickness is suffering, old age is suffering, death is suffering; pain, grief, sorrow, lamentation, and despair are suffering. Association with what is unpleasant is suffering, disassociation from what is pleasant is suffering. In short, holding on to the body, feelings, perceptions, mind, and consciousness is suffering.
- Buddha
On the other hand, suffering is the key to salvation, which is always sought. If suffering turns into despair, it drags the person into a dark existence; If lived with dignity, it leads to wisdom.
- Cem Şen
Everything that has happened or will happen is either the necessary consequence of something that happened before it or the beginning of something that will follow it.
People can turn these events in a good direction with patience, tolerance, goodwill, and altruistic behavior.
- Bedri Ruhselman
Excerpt from the book “Mukadderat ve İcabat”
What you are is what you have been. What you will be is what you do now.
- Buddha
If you want to know your past life, look into your present condition; if you want to know your future life, look into your present actions.
- Padmasambhava
Everything in the universe has a purpose. There are no misfits, there are no freaks, there are no accidents. There are only things we don’t understand.
- Marlo Morgan
Everything is good and perfect. Among the events that happen, there may be some that seem bad for individuals. But all bad events, including disasters, are for the good of people and societies.
In short, the wheel spins perfectly, and as it spins, it makes people evolve.
- Excerpt from the book “Şuurlu İnanç”
In the world, states and orders occurring in every event and situation and within an ordered rhythm and great harmony are the manifestations of the general harmony of the world. There is no disordered, defective thing. All events are manifested as regulated and assisted in degrees in the evolution of each being.
- Excerpt from the book “The Divine Order and The Universe”
