“When we’re not defending and justifying, and we’re being very still, our answers can and do shock us.”

When you argue with reality, you lose, but only 100% of the time.

Gratitude is what we are without a story.

The most important relationship is the mind’s relationship with itself. In other words, the ultimate – and, really, the only – relationship you have is the relationship with your own thoughts.

It’s not a little thing to lose your identification and who you believe yourself to be.

You can’t have your daughter as long as you have a concept of her. When you get rid of the concept, you meet your daughter for the first time. That’s the way this works.

Your parents are your projection-nothing more.

Just keep coming home to yourself, you are the one who you’ve been waiting for.

Every uncomfortable feeling, every pain, every moment of stress & suffering is for your own self-realization.

When you realize that every stressful moment you experience is a gift that points you to your own freedom, life becomes very kind.

Reality is always kinder than your thinking.

If you don’t like your world, question your thoughts about it.

Do you want to meet the love of your life? Look in the mirror.

I love the world, because I love the mind that created the world.

When you become a lover of what is, the war is over.

Whenever you think that your needs are not being met, you’re telling the story of a future.

Bottom line is, if someone says something about me and it upsets me, it’s true.

Maybe you don’t need to have all the answers, maybe life need not be slower or faster; maybe everything’s evolving in the magic of the unseen, maybe its not about doing but simply being.

The role of the artist is to ask questions, not answer them.

However much you knock at nature’s door, she will never answer you in comprehensible words.

No matter how often you knock at nature’s door, she won’t answer in words you can understand–for Nature is dumb. She’ll vibrate and moan like a violin, but you mustn’t expect a song.

And you loved me like I was, and had always been, the answer and the question did not, and would never, matter.

As there was never any question there was never any answer.

Suppose no one asked a question. What would the answer be?

There are many who lust for the simple answers of doctrine or decree. They are on the left and right. They are not confined to a single part of the society. They are terrorists of the mind.
