I think the question is, how do we live with change? Change in our friends, change in our lovers? Change in me and change in my body, from the stroke. Things have changed this plane of consciousness. We've tried to keep things the same. It causes suffering. This suffering is another step in your spiritual life, in your spiritual journey.

Our whole spiritual transformation brings us to the point where we realize that in our own being, we are enough.

The game is not about becoming somebody, it's about becoming nobody.

If we can give up attachment to our roles as helpers, then maybe our clients can give up attachment to their roles as patients.

Faith, consciousness, and awareness all exist beyond the thinking mind.

The God within is your Spiritual Heart. Your Soul. And in that individual Soul, rests God- rests the One. Go into your soul and your heart-space which can be Awareness, Love, Compassion, etc… and just BE your heart-space. BE your Soul so that you can LOVE unconditionally.

All you can do for another person is be an environment in which if they wanted to come up for air, they could.

In our relationships, how much can we allow them to become new, and how much do we cling to what they used to be yesterday?

You look at the tree and you allow it. You see why it is the way it is.

Love is the most transformative medicine. For Love slowly transforms you Into what psychedelics only get you to glimpse.

Fear of death only comes through the brittleness of the ego.

When you concentrate on the middle of your chest - this is where loving awareness lives. This is the spiritual heart. Not the beating heart, not the emotional heart.

Each person tells you who they think they are, and who they think you are.

The quieter you become, the more you are able to hear.

You may protest if you can love the person you are protesting against as much as you love yourself.

Our thinking minds deprive us of the happiness that comes when we are living fully in the moment.

The resistance to the unpleasant situation is the root of suffering.

When I look at my life, I see that I wanted to be free of the physical plane, the psychological plane, and when I got free of those I didn't want to go anywhere near them.

Be patient. You'll know when it's time for you to wake up and move ahead.

Don't think about the past. Just be here now.

I remember my first visit with my guru. He had shown that he read my mind. So I looked at the grass and I thought, My god, he's going to know all the things I don't want people to know. I was really embarrassed. Then I looked up and he was looking directly at me with unconditional love.

Truth waits for eyes unclouded by longing.

The cosmic humor is that if you desire to move mountains and you continue to purify yourself, ultimately you will arrive at the place where you are able to move mountains. But in order to arrive at this position of power you will have had to give up being he-who-wanted-to-move-mountains so that you can be he-who-put-the-mountain-there-in-the-first-place. The humor is that finally when you have the power to move the mountain, you are the person who placed it there--so there the mountain stays.
