7. “Physical charms attract the eyes, goodness attracts the mind.”



Good looks are an asset - however, a good character is an identity. It’s completely wrong to judge someone only by their looks and not by their character.

[shahrukh]

8. “Just as on a rubbish heap swept up on a main road a purely fragrant, delightful lotus might there spring up, even so amidst those rubbish heaps (of men) does the savaka of the Perfectly Enlightened One outshine in insight the blind puthujjana”



Even if you’re surrounded by filth, but you’re strong enough to resist the bad, you will grow like a lotus in a mud lake. If you’re a student, with hard work, you will outshine all other ordinary students.

[shahrukh]

9. “When you like a flower, you just pluck it. But when you love a flower, you water it daily.



Buddha teaches us the difference between love and lust. In love, you nurture a relationship. In lust, you only satisfy your physical needs.

[shahrukh]

10. “A jug fills drop by drop.”



Starting small is the mantra for finishing big. It doesn’t matter if your start is a small attempt. If you keep at it steadily, you will achieve what you want to one day.

[shahrukh]

11. “It is better to travel well than to arrive.”



Life is one big journey and you’re a traveller. It’s better to live and travel well, than thinking about the future and losing your peace of mind. Living the fullest in the present is the best way to enjoy life, rather than living in the past or the future.
