“Often life is a frantic avoidance of the truth.”

Awareness isn’t something we own; awareness isn’t something we possess. Awareness is actually what we are.

Stop all doing and be still. Let the fire of stillness burn everything and reveal That which is Openness.

True freedom is to be free from the desire to be free from anything.

All you have to do is say “yes.” Don’t make some big project out of it. Don’t make some big deal out of it. Just say “yes.” You don’t even know what it means to say “yes,” but you say it anyway. You’ll never know what it means to say “yes,” but you do it anyway.

If you want to know something, go elsewhere. If you want to un-know everything, then sit and listen.

The most intimate question we can ask, and the one that has the most spiritual power, is this: What or who am I?

If we look at the world around us, we see that we are conditioned to not listen deeply. Because isn’t that what silence is? It’s a listening, a deep wordless listening.

The more honest and authentic we are, the more deeply we go into the mystery of our own being.

Spirituality does not require that you work hard toward achieving a result in the future as much as it requires you to be fully present.

In the same vein, my teachings are not meant to acquire followers or imitators, but to awaken beings to eternal truth and thus to awakened life and living.

Whatever you want, be it. If you want connection, it’s because you are connection. Be what you want, and then it happens all around you. If you want love, be it.

It’s wearing spiritual clothing and spiritual concepts, but it is really no different than a drunk in the gutter who doesn’t want to feel the pain anymore.

An ordinary man seeks freedom through enlightenment. An enlightened man expresses freedom through being ordinary.

Radiantly nothing. Absolutely and eternally zero. Emptiness that is awake. Emptiness that is full. Emptiness that is everything.

When you discover yourself to be nothing but Freedom, you stop setting up conditions and requirements that need to be satisfied in order for you to be happy.

Real meditation is not about mastering a technique; it’s about letting go of control.
