6. «The reason we over-socialize today is not love of society but fear of loneliness.«

For Borja Vilaseca, courage is required to sustain, embrace and love loneliness. Being alone scares us because it can connect us with our wounded inner child, with our lack of self-esteem or self-love, but it is precisely by being alone and allowing ourselves to have that encounter that can allow us to transform our wounds or shortcomings. There comes a time when «loneliness disappears because you have found yourself,» he tells us.

7.»The paradox is that by condemning our dark side, we are preventing and hindering our light side from manifesting.«Borja Vilaseca

8.»To radiate light we must first accept, love and be at peace with our darkness.«Borja Vilaseca

9.»Ironically, excess knowledge can become an obstacle on our path to transformation.«Borja Vilaseca

10.»More than scholars, the essential thing is that we become wise. And wisdom is the ability to obtain satisfying results voluntarily, which is a matter of practice and training.”Borja Vilaseca

11. “You have to ask yourself a question: how long are you going to continue postponing the inevitable? «Borja Vilaseca

12.»Conquer your mind and you will be free to be human, that is, conscious of yourself and with an infinite capacity to accept and love what happens to you. Then you will understand that being alive is a wonderful gift, an opportunity to feel deeply grateful every day.”Borja Vilaseca

13.»If you take advantage of adversity to grow and evolve spiritually, sooner or later there comes a day when said loss becomes a gain.» Borja Vilaseca

14.»By removing all the layers of cement and concrete we reconnect with our inner diamond. It is then when we understand that true happiness resides within us and it only depends on ourselves to cultivate it.«Borja Vilaseca

15. “You are responsible for your happiness and your suffering; In you the disease and the cure coexist.”Borja Vilaseca

16.»If someone gets on our nerves or has some personality trait that we can’t stand, they are a spiritual teacher for us. So are all those whom we wish to change to adapt them to how we consider they should be. Of course, just because we dislike someone does not mean that they are a spiritual teacher.” Borja Vilaseca

17.»Any adverse situation we face always contains a valuable hidden lesson. Developing spiritually involves detecting it and taking advantage of it for our inner transformation. Not in vain, everything that happens to us in life is exactly what we need to awaken and reconnect with the spark of divinity with which we were born.«Borja Vilaseca

18.»The real reason we are apparently such sociable beings is not our love of society, but our deep fear of loneliness.«Borja Vilaseca

19.»On too many occasions we prefer to be in bad company than alone, sharing banal and inconsequential encounters – full of noise, evasion and narcotization – with people who neither know nor want to be alone. There is no worse loneliness than feeling alone when surrounded by people.«Borja Vilaseca

20. “Acceptance is what finally frees us from suffering. Acceptance does not mean agreeing, conforming, resigning or submitting: accepting means understanding from the self, stopping reacting, judging, fighting and entering into conflict from the ego.” Borja Vilaseca

21.»Ironically, it is not that reality is cruel to us, but that we behave like real tyrants towards it.«Borja Vilaseca.

22.»We are so disappointed with reality that we want to change it, adapting it to our belief system. That is, how each person believes it should be.«Borja Vilaseca

23. «The lower our level of consciousness, the more egocentric our way of being will be, and vice versa.” Borja Vilaseca

24. “Our ego is never enough with what we achieve; always wants more. Chronic dissatisfaction is the main consequence of living identified with this illusory «I.»”Borja Vilaseca

25. “In order to understand what you are and what you can become, you just have to learn to relax and listen deep into the silence.”Borja Vilaseca

26.»Know yourself! Listen to yourself and, when you go through all that tangle of voices and conditioning, you will reach your core, your truth, the deepest part of your soul. There you will discover your purpose and meaning, the person you really are, and that will give you the strength, conviction and motivation to overcome everything else.«Borja Vilaseca
