Nithya Shanti, a former monk turned spiritual teacher,
shares wisdom that often blends Eastern philosophy with modern-day insights.
Here are some of his quotes and teachings:
Happiness is not the absence of problems, it's the ability
to deal with them.
The mind is like a parachute; it works best when it's open.
Peace is not the absence of noise, trouble, or hard work. It
is to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart.
Meditation is not about turning off your thoughts; it's
about realizing you are not your thoughts.
Gratitude is the wine for the soul. Go on. Get drunk.
Life is not about finding yourself, it's about creating
yourself.
The greatest gift you can give someone is your presence.
Forgiveness is not about letting someone off the hook for
their actions, but freeing yourself of the burden of being a victim.
Happiness comes from within. It is not dependent on external
things or other people.
The only real failure in life is not to be true to the best
one knows.
These quotes reflect Nithya Shanti's emphasis on inner peace, mindfulness, gratitude, and personal growth. His teachings often encourage individuals to cultivate awareness, compassion, and authenticity in their lives.
