Translation of the text written at the Entrance to the Temple of the Egyptian Goddess Sekhmet, Karnak Temple
I only ask you to enter my house with respect. To serve you I do not need your devotion, but your sincerity. Neither your beliefs, but your thirst for knowledge. Enter with your vices, your fears and your hatreds from the greatest to the smaller ones, I can help you dissolve them.
You can look at me and love me as a female, as a mother, as a daughter, as a sister, as a friend, but never look at me as an authority above yourself. If the devotion you have for any god, It is greater than the one you have for the God that is within you, you offend them both and you

River Snow 江雪 - Poem by Liu Tsung-Yuan (Translated from the Chinese by Red Pine)
A thousand mountains and not a bird flying
ten thousand paths and not a single footprint
an old man in his raincoat in a solitary boat
fishes alone in the freezing river snow千山鳥飛絕,萬逕人蹤滅。孤舟簑笠翁,獨釣寒江雪。

"This too shall pass" is a great attitude to have. In Japan there is the concept of shogiomujio (しょぎようむじよう). While complex to translate (more a cultural attitude than language), it means “the impermanence of all things”. In Arabic/Farsi "Inshallah" is related to this attitude as well.

An insights from meditation: Rather than allowing your senses and awareness to constantly "reach out" to the world "out there", try the opposite: Keep your awareness anchored internally and let the world come meet you. In time, you'll seamlessly merge with your surroundings and become the room.
