“My experience of fundamental Truth is that it’s a place of extraordinary intelligence. It’s a place from which great intelligence arises. I call it a place of absolute infinite potential.”

In true meditation the emphasis is on being awareness; not on being aware of objects, but on resting as primordial awareness itself. Primordial awareness is the source in which all objects arise and subside.

The Buddha’s insight into the middle way is not simply about a balance between extremes. This conventional understanding misses the deeper revelation of the middle way as being the very nature of unexcelled enlightenment.

Many Sages have said, “Your world is a dream. You’re living in an illusion.” They’re referring to this world of the mind and the way we believe our thoughts about reality.

One doesn’t stay in a state of nirvana by hiding from difficulties. You stay in nirvana by lavishing nirvana on everyone you meet, by giving it away as fast as you receive it.

When you abide and accept everything completely and fully, you automatically go beyond.

True sincerity reveals a powerful form of clarity and discernment that is necessary in order to perceive yourself honestly without flinching or being held captive by your conditioned mind’s judgments and defensiveness.

When we see the world through our thoughts, we stop experiencing life as it really is and others as they really are. When I have a thought about you, that’s something I’ve created. I’ve turned you into an idea.

Only something as insane as human beings would ever asked themselves if ‘I’m good.’ You don’t find oak trees having existential crisis. ‘I feel so rotten about myself. I don’t produce as much acorns as the one next to me.’

Freedom and Love arise when you die into the unknown mystery of being.

Life sustains itself. Let go of the ego and life takes care of itself through you.

All we really want in the end is to be connected once again with the Truth of our being, to realize what it is that wears this mask of self.

Have you noticed, with whatever quality of love you have experienced, that when true love arises, it opens up both your mind and emotions? It’s an openness to whatever is happening.

What would happen if you were to allow everything to be exactly as it is? If you gave up the need for control, and instead embraced the whole of your experience in each moment that arose?

You think that enlightenment is something other than what is happening right now. This is your primary mistake.

The mind may accept or deny that you are awareness, but either way it can’t really understand. It cannot comprehend. Thought cannot comprehend what is beyond thought.

The Truth is the only thing you’ll ever run into that has no agenda.

Innocent and infinite are the pleasures of observation.

Most human beings have an almost infinite capacity for taking things for granted.

There are infinite reveries, numberless extravagances, and a perpetual train of vanities which pass through both.

Let us have a dagger between our teeth, a bomb in our hands and an infinite scorn in our hearts.

Ideas are, in truth, forces. Infinite, too, is the power of personality. A union of the two always makes history.

I can take the spotlight that shines on me and shift it towards those issues that are infinitely more important than my own issues.

I am always humbled by the infite ingenuity of the Lord, who can make a red barn cast a blue shadow.

The obstacles preventing the realization of both these extreme states are of the same nature: they derive from our human condition which is opposed to everything infinite.
