“Even in sadness you are a symptom of love.”

When the mind is still, truth dance in the purity of silence.

Spiritual awakening is not about knowing everything and about being powerful. Quite the opposite is true. It is about resting deeply into not knowing, and about being so sensible and fragile that the belief of the ego dissolve into silence.

Freedom is a spontaneous letting go of all desire and effort.

You can read hundreds of spiritual books, study all kinds of scriptures, but the final truth is an experience in silence.

Awakening is a natural process.

Forms do change, yet the essence stays the same.

What can seem like complex understanding is truly found in simplicity.

If you are afraid of the dark, why do you keep on going back to it? You might be afraid of the light.

The way we identify and awaken is all a natural process for life waking up to itself. Already awake. There is truly nothing you can do! You can not force a flower to bloom.

Healing is a natural process happening in stillness.

Practice, until you speak silence fluently.

You don’t become happy, you become aware that you already are.

Silence eats ego for breakfast.

What we truly desire is living without desire.

Only silence can release the bondage of the mind.

If you don’t think about it, what could be more beautiful than now.

A friend of mine always says, ‘Women love me for the man I’m not.’

Do not doubt your own basic goodness. In spite of all confusion and fear, you are born with a heart that knows what is just, loving, and beautiful.

The value of love will always be stronger than the value of hate. Any nation or group of nations which employs hatred eventually is torn to pieces by hatred.

Remember, writing poetry is like making love: one will never know whether one’s own pleasure is shared.

Do not wait too long to love yourself or anybody else.

Love songs in particular are so compelling because love is probably the strongest emotion you can have, and I think it’s relatable to absolutely everyone, whether it’s unrequited love or love.

If asked whether I am finally letting God love me, just as I am, I would answer, ‘No, but I’m trying.

Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get – only with what you are expecting to give – which is everything.
