“The realization of Truth and Reality can never be created by the mind … it always comes as a gift of grace. Inquiry clears away misperceptions and illusions, making one available to the movements of grace.”

There is a very Simple Secret to being happy. Just let go of your ‘demand’ on this moment. Any time you have a demand on the moment to give you something or remove something, there is suffering.

The silence inside of you is the sound of your knowledge collapsing. Remember, it is you who said, ‘I want to be free.’

Life becomes almost magical. The illusion of the “me” is no longer in the way. Life begins to flow, and you never know where it will take you.

To awaken to the absolute view is profound and transformative, but to awaken from all fixed points of view is the birth of true non-duality. If emptiness cannot dance, it is not true emptiness.

At each moment we are expressing what we know ourselves to be. If we know ourselves very little we will express and manifest that unconsciousness of our true nature.

If we do not live and manifest in our lives what we realize in our deepest moments of revelation, then we are living a split life.

Freedom is a state of complete and absolute insecurity and not knowing. So, in seeking security and safety, you actually distance yourself from the freedom you want.

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.

As you step every day and we’re going to see challenges, we going to see failures, we should certainly learn from the failures and be gracious with our successes too as well.

Physical exercise makes you more graceful. After some gymnasitics you walk as if the whole street is yours.

Prayer is the deliberate and persevering action of the soul. It is true and enduring, and full of grace. Prayer fastens the soul to God and makes it one with God’s will.

Seasons change and that’s okay, there will always be light, hope and grace.

We may be excused for not always being bright, but we are not excused for not being gracious, yielding and considerate.

It is grace that forms the void inside us and it is grace that can fill the void.

I hope you find grace in the spaces in between your racing thoughts and melancholy – be kind to your beautiful mind.

God inclines to shower His graces upon us, but our perverted will is a barrier to His generosity.
