Without the intense touch of nature, you can never fully freshen yourself! Go for a camping and there both your weary mind and your exhausted body will rise like a morning sun!
~ Mehmet Murat Ildan
Here is a wonderful habit: From time to time stop; move not; speak not; just watch the nature, because this is the best way to realise explicitly the miracles surrounding us!
When the spirit of nature touches us, our hearts turn into a butterfly!
To appear in heaven, let yourself disappear amongst the beauties of nature!
Rain is nature’s art; umbrella is man’s art. When you walk with your umbrella in a rainy day, you walk with a super art which is a combination of two different arts!
A beautiful mind is like a beautiful path! The more you travel with it, the more you find peace and happiness!
If you keep wandering in the dark streets, may be it is because you find peace in the darkness rather than in the light!
A candle, a book and a peaceful person mean three candles for the world!
When can you understand that the music you play is very good? It is when people look at you but see no one, no one but the music!
To understand fully the importance of music, you must try to imagine a world without music! Such a world would be a world of hopelessness and boredom!
To understand fully the importance of music, you must try to image a world without music! Such a world would be a world of hopelessness and boredom!
An illusionist can make himself disappear; a musician can do the same thing: When he plays a piano, after a while we start seeing only the music, not the man!
In your most desperate moments where you crawl on the ground like worms, sometimes you suddenly hear the voice of a savior, the voice of the Music which immediately carries you away to the stars!
If you move faster than the music, it will look strange; if you move slower than the music, it will look strange! Be like autumn leaves which follow exactly the rhythm of the wind!
Wind is the sacred music of the leaves; wherever and whenever the wind blows, over there leaves start their holy dancing frantically!
Every men create some sound. Be a melody in this universe not a noise! If you become a melody, the whole universe will listen to you!
If you are earning your money through violence, all this money is unethical, because violence and ethics cannot be together!
Like a broken vase does not fear of breaking once more, my broken heart is not affected by your hurting words anymore!
Heart can keep a secret, but face is not a good secret keeper! So what heart knows, face will expose it!
Don’t mention me about your religion! Show me your heart! If you have the heart of an innocent child, you have the best religion, even if you are a nonbeliever!
No ornament can make a person look beautiful if the person has a bad heart! A good heart is the finest ornament, the best makeup, the best cloth, the best jewel, the best lipstick and the best earring!
Work hard to gain the heart of the people; if you gain it, you will gain everything else!
Simple and plain things can touch your heart very easily! If you can be simple and plain, you can touch every heart!
However hard life is, deep in our hearts we know that it is worth to continue till the end!
Leave city, leave reality; enter forest, enter fantasy!
If you feel you have to open a particular door, open it, otherwise all your life that door will haunt your mind!
Are you looking for a lighthouse? Let me give you an advice: When you improve your own mind, you become your very own lighthouse!
Spend your time with the people who talk about the stars because to whichever place you put your mind in, you will move to that place! Stars pull you to the stars; mud pulls you to the mud!
When your situation seems pathless and hopeless, this happens just because your mind is not talented enough to find a hope and to create a path!
If you cannot solve your problem, change your position and look at your problem from a different angle with a different mind! Every problem has a hole where you can enter inside and destroy it!
Without eliminating the fog in your mind, you won’t be able to see clearly! And how can you eliminate this fog? How can you liberate your mind? Just open your mind to the winds of all ideas!
The strength of your mind determines the depth of your desperation! The weaker the mind, the deeper the desperation!
Without being an independent individual, without having an independent mind, you become nothing more than a trivial slave or an obscure shadow!
When your mind is foggy, all you need is the winds of wisdom!
Humans have better wings than birds: Human mind is a perfect wing and with this wing we can fly to some farthermost places no bird can ever dream! Yes, mind is a wing; and when it comes to flying man is the most sophisticated bird on earth!
If you are a boat and your lake is frozen, what can you do? You will wait for the spring! We are lucky that we are humans, we don’t have to wait for the spring; we can break the ice if necessary, we can use fire to open our way! Nothing can stop the mind if the mind decides to move to his target!
Stephen Hawking says we will not survive another 1,000 years without escaping beyond our planet. This existence problem can be solved by increasing the number of people with free-minds! Because just like the free birds only the free minds can reach the new horizons!
When you smile, it means that your mind smiles; when you cry, it means that your mind cries!
Every country on Earth needs a progressive Revolution. But these revolutions must come through the Revolutions in the mind, not through Revolutions using Violence!
Your real secret hiding place is not a dark cave, it is not a dusky forest, it is not a desolate house in the middle of nowhere but your real secret hiding place is always your own mind! Every person ultimately hides himself over there, in his own mind!
