“Thinking that people are supposed to do or be anything other than what they are is like saying that the tree over there should be the sky. I investigated that and found freedom.”

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.

I came to see that the world is always as it should be, whether I opposed it or not.

To me, health is a balanced mind. A balanced mind knows how to get enough rest, how to eat properly, how to exercise. I have come out as just a balanced human being, and I don’t know anything finer than that.

When we stop opposing reality, action becomes simple, fluid, kind, and fearless.

It’s not what happens in life that bothers us. It’s what we’re believing about it that bothers us.
