He who lives in harmony with himself lives in harmony with the universe.

If there is anything that will bring satisfaction it is diving deep into Love, and then we shall realize that there is nothing which is not just; we shall never again say that anything is unjust. This is the point the wise reach, and they call it the culmination of wisdom.

If you can create harmony
In your own life,
This harmony will enter
Into the vast world.
Sri Chinmoy

Imagine there’s no heaven,
It’s easy if you try,
No hell below us,
Above us only sky,
Imagine all the people
living for today…
Imagine there’s no countries,
It isnt hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
No religion too,
Imagine all the people
living life in peace…
Imagine no possesions,
I wonder if you can,
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man,
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world…
You may say Im a dreamer,
but Im not the only one,
I hope some day you’ll join us,
And the world will live as one.
John Lennon

Like birds landing on a tree top together, and then dispersing, we are together for a very short time, so it makes sense to live in harmony, in unconditional friendship.
Bokar Rinpoche

Live your dreams and you nurture your spirit, nurture your spirit and you dance your bliss , dance your bliss and the world becomes a celebration of authentic loving harmony.
Micheal Teal

Man with all his shrewdness is as stupid about understanding by himself the mysteries of God, as an ass is incapable of understanding musical harmony.

Success should be measured by the yardstick of happiness; by your ability to remain in peaceful harmony with cosmic laws.

The Tao is unpredictable to those that live according to plans. Only those who have no agenda are in harmony with the Tao.
Lao Tzu

The trees and plants show respect for each other by the way they live in harmony. This also applies to the animal kingdom.
Masuru Emoto

The world is not to be put in order; the world is order, incarnate. It is for us to harmonize with this order.
Henry Miller

To keep harmony when you are dealing with other individuals, do not use your justice-light. Forget about justice! There is no justice on earth. Only think of wisdom-light. Always be as humble as possible. Even if you feel that others are idiots, use absolute humility—if necessary, forced humility. Force yourself to be at the other person’s feet, not on the other person’s head. Let them increase their stupidity. Let their ego-balloon become large, larger and largest. One day it will burst. True, by becoming humble, you are pumping them up. But at least you are not increasing the disharmony. It is not something that you have to do all your life. For one or two months or a few years you will do it. Then you will see that eventually his ego-balloon will burst and he will be on the same level as you are. Otherwise, without humility, there is no way we can have harmony.
Excerpt from Sri Chinmoy Answers, Part 29 by Sri Chinmoy

Opposition brings concord. Out of discord comes the fairest harmony.
Heraclitus of Ephesus

When force of circumstance upsets your equanimity, lose no time in recovering your self-control, and do not remain out of tune longer than you can help. Habitual recurrence to the harmony will increase your mastery of it.
Marcus Aurelius
