“All love – love of children, love of parents, love of God or life – comes out of making physical love. Without the making of love there is no body to love anything.”

The whole purpose of existence is to bring love into existence where it is needed.

To experience beauty, love, truth and peace, or God, your mind has to be stilled.

You can only get next to God through the effort of preparation. To experience the uncreated, the state of awareness will have to be held for several minutes. You are then between time and the time-less – waiting for the unknown, which will come but cannot be willed.

You must not believe anyone in the search for truth; you have to find out for yourself. But although you are on your own, help will come when it is really needed.

Nothing is true in self-discovery unless it is true in your own experience. This is the only protection against the robot levels of the mind.

Truth cannot be taught but it is quickly recognised by the person ready to discover it.

We can rarely see things from the point of view of another person because we look at the facts through the screen of an impression or an interest which distorts our view; and then there are accusations, quarrels and misunderstandin.

You think, you become that thought. And consciousness, or the state of pure awareness, is lost.

The only way we can ever get through to the truth is by finding out what we are not. We do that by looking, by observation.

Feelings are constantly changing. None is dependable for long. You can love someone intensely today, and tomorrow or next month not feel a thing. Except perhaps for the feeling of doubt or depression that what was so beautiful could change so quickly.

Any product of the mind is a reaction of the past, a synthesis of what is old.

Love is the state of enlightenment and enlightenment is the state of love. You can’t make any separation between them. Enlightenment is the state of no feelings and pure knowledge and so is love.

Love is all around you like the air, and is the very breath of your being.

Anything that is said is not the truth. It is a statement of truth, and no statement is the truth.

Acknowledgement is the only way to keep love alive.

WE HAVE SEEN that hunger and breathing are desires of the body. There are other desires that are not of the body, but again man seldom pauses to observe these desires in himself.

And my parents made me want i am. So what? We get stuff from our parents, but we also get stuff from the world around us. From people around us. And at the end of the day, we’re us.

When I was working a lot, I felt guilty as a parent. I couldn’t pick up my son every day from school, bake him cookies and that kind of thing.

My parents were very pleased that I was in the army. The fact that I hated it somehow pleased them even more.

Nurses nurse and teachers teach and tailors mend and preachers preach and barbers trim and chauffeurs haul and parents get to do it all.

Hip Hop has introduced us to a lot of genres that we probably wouldn’t even listen to in our own homes from our parents.

There is one thing you and I as parents cannot do, not do we want to do if we really think about it, and that’s control our children’s will–that spirit that lets them be themselves apart from you and me. They are not ours to possess, control, manipulate, or even to make mind.

Google is one of the most incredible breakthroughs that we have today. Yes, it can scare a lot of patients, thinking we’re all dying because we look up something on Google. But there’s also a lot of anecdotal information from parents, firsthand accounts of what they did for their own child.

I want to thank my parents for somehow raising me to have confidence that is disproportionate with my looks and abilities.
