More From Haruki Murakami

Success only means doing something sincerely and wholeheartedly. i think life is a process. through the ages, the end of heroes is the same as ordinary men. they all died and gradually faded away in the memory of man. but when we are still alive, we have to understand ourselves, discover ourselves and express ourselves. in this way, we can progress, but we may not be successful.

The savior taught his disciples, 'for whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it' (luke 9:24)."i believe the savior is telling us that unless we lose ourselves in service to others, there is little purpose to our own lives. those who live only for themselves eventually shrivel up and figuratively lose their lives, while those who lose themselves in service to others grow and flourish—and in effect save their lives.

If you lose money you lose much, if you lose friends you lose more, if you lose faith you lose all.

But what i would like to say is that the spiritual life is a life in which you gradually learn to listen to a voice that says something else, that says, "you are the beloved and on you my favour rests."... i want you to hear that voice. it is not a very loud voice because it is an intimate voice. it comes from a very deep place. it is soft and gentle. i want you to gradually hear that voice. we both have to hear that voice and to claim for ourselves that that voice speaks the truth, our truth. it tells us who we are.

To lose a brother is to lose someone with whom you can share the experience of growing old, who is supposed to bring you a sister-in-law and nieces and nephews, creatures who people the tree of your life and give it new branches. to lose your father is to lose the one whose guidance and help you seek, who supports you like a tree trunk supports its branches. to lose your mother, well, that is like losing the sun above you. it is like losing--i'm sorry, i would rather not go on.
Mother Brother Sorry
The remarkable thing is that we really love our neighbor as ourselves: we do unto others as we do unto ourselves. we hate others when we hate ourselves. we are tolerant toward others when we tolerate ourselves. we forgive others when we forgive ourselves. we are prone to sacrifice others when we are ready to sacrifice ourselves.
