“The ultimate freedom from the nonexistent ego is to see that it is actually irrelevant.”

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.

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.

We are birthed into sangha, into sacred community. It is called the world.

I spent so much time focusing on haters that I forgot about the people that actually love me. And that’s who I’m focused on this time around: the people that want to listen. The people that don’t want to listen, don’t listen. This is for the people that want to.

This transcends any kind of religion and any kind of belief. This is actually an offense and attack on human values. He’s just saying out there I will shoot people in the face and people wouldn’t care.

Do not miss the opportunity of offering even a single drop into the ocean of merit or a grain atop the mountain of the roots of beneficial activity.

Official truth is not actual truth.

I must be very close to what I had to learn to move from fooling around with writing to actually producing professional stories.

Men used the music to get the girls in the mood to make love. So either way you had it, Barry White is the one artist who actually was in your bedroom with you at your most sacred, sensuous moment of your life.

That’s not an accident that Donald Trump didn’t begin with, say, trade or jobs or anything, that he actually began by otherizing the first African-American president of the United States.

Believe it or not, I can actually draw.
