Ralph Waldo Emerson

Ralph Waldo Emerson

To understand suffering, you must go beyond pain and pleasure. Your own desires and fears prevent you from understanding and thereby helping others. In reality there are no others, and by helping yourself you help everybody else. If you are serious about the suffering of mankind, you must perfect the only means of help you have, yourself.

Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

Sogyal Rinpoche

Sometimes healing comes after helping someone that is going through the same trauma you went through. Help yourself by helping others.
