“Completion comes when we not just wake up from all form, from all identification, but when love causes us to re-embrace it all.”

The light of consciousness has no mind to change or alter anything. When you start to see the light that you really are, the light waking up in you, the radiance, you realize it has no intention to change you.

Neither one of these thoughts hold any intrinsic reality. They are an overlay. When someone says, ‘I love you,’ he is telling you about himself, not you. When someone says, ‘I hate you,’ she is telling you about herself, not you. World views are self views-literally.

Enlightenment is, in the end, nothing more than the natural state of being.

To be free of fear is to be full of Love.

Eventually, in the state of liberation, meditation will simply become your natural condition.

If we know who and what we are very thoroughly, we will express and manifest that in what we do. It is all very simple.

Most human beings spend their lives battling with opposing inner forces: what they think they should do versus what they are doing; how they feel about themselves versus how they are; whether they think they’re right and worthy or wrong and unworthy.

Since everything is already the Supreme Buddha Nature, where are you going to find it?

The process of finding the truth may not be a process by which we feel increasingly better and better. It may be a process by which we look at things honestly, sincerely, truthfully, and that may or may not be an easy thing to do.

What the universe will manifest when you are in alignment with it is a lot more interesting than what you try to manifest

A quiet mind married to integrity of heart is the birth of wisdom.

Truth has no finality to it. It is not something to be held on to. Truth is discovered minute to minute or not at all.

Grace is something that comes to us when we somehow find ourselves completely available, when we become openhearted and open-minded, and are willing to entertain the possibility that we may not know what we think we know.

When emptiness is still, that is eternity. When it moves, that is love.

Gratitude is the appreciation of what is, of life, of existence, of anybody and anything, for just the way it is.

Only when the pursuit ceases, is it possible to recognize what comprises you: pure being.

If we only make merit but have not stopped doing bad things, then we will never have a day of completion. It is like an overturned bowl which is left outside in the rain.

My guiding principle will be justice and complete impartiality, and I am sure that with your support and co-operation, I can look forward to Pakistan becoming one of the greatest Nations of the world.

Before this distinguished assembly and the world, the bells today proclaim the joyous tidings of the completion of this quietly soaring tower.

I wished people could realize all of their dreams of wealth and fame so they could see that it’s not where you’ll find your sense of completion.
