“If you think you are enlightened; go home for Thanksgiving.”

What you meet in another being is the projection of your own level of evolution.

Our interactions with one another reflect a dance between love and fear.

Every religion is the product of the conceptual mind attempting to describe the mystery.

Do what you can on this plane to relieve suffering by constantly working on yourself to be an instrument for the cessation of suffering. To me, that’s what the emerging game is all about.

Your problem is you are too busy holding on to your unworthiness.

The freer I get, the higher I go. The higher I go, the more I see. The more I see, the less I know. The less I know, the more I’m free.

Emotions are like waves. Watch them disappear in the distance on the vast calm ocean.

All of a sudden the progress will stop one day, and you will find yourself, as it were, stranded. Persevere. All progress proceeds by such rise and fall. —Vivekananda

We are all affecting the world every moment, whether we mean to or not. Our actions and states of mind matter, because we are so deeply interconnected with one another.

I would like my life to be a statement of love and compassion–and where it isn’t, that’s where my work lies.

Suffering is the sandpaper of our incarnation. It does its work of shaping us.

Free yourself from the illusion of good and bad days. Labeling time makes us nostalgic of the past and demanding of the future. There is only here and now. Let it be.

Working on our own consciousness is the most important thing that we are doing at any moment, and being love is a supreme creative act.

The world is won by those who let it go.

Peace at home, peace in the world.

If home is where the heart is, then I don’t know where to go.

The Dalai Lama visited the White House and told the President that he could teach him to find a higher state of consciousness. Then after talking to Bush for a few minutes, he said, ‘You know what? Let’s just grab lunch.’

I never saw film stars at home. We had no maid, no cook, no swimming pool.

Stay close to the people that feel like home.

I just try to go to work, and concentrate on coming home to my girls.

You wouldn’t want to see a movie where the bad guys triumph over the good guys all the time. You’d get bummed out, and you’d just stay at home and watch the news.

The type of girls that would sleep with you in a heartbeat aren’t the type of girls I’d want to take home anyway.
