“The only time we suffer is when we believe a thought that argues with what is. When the mind is perfectly clear, what is is what we want.”

Reality doesn’t wait for your opinion, vote, or permission, sweetheart. It just keeps being what it is and doing what it does.

Realizing that people should lie when they do makes me a little more open-minded, a little more tolerant, when my child or my partner lies.

A thought is harmless unless we believe it.

In my experience, we don’t make thoughts appear, they just appear. One day, I noticed that their appearance just wasn’t personal. Noticing that really makes it simpler to inquire.

We say to others only what we need to hear.

I didn’t fight or shame my thoughts, I questioned them, and they stopped shaming me.

When a thought hurts, that’s the signal that it isn’t true.

That’s where the fear comes from-from your uninvestigated thoughts.

Until you can see everything in the world as your friend, your work is not done.

You can only see what you believe—nothing else is possible.

I can’t love you as you have been or will be. I can only love you as you are.

Don’t be careful. You could hurt yourself.

I believe in the power of every human being to end suffering.

Everything that happens is God’s will. When you realize that, you’re home free.

We do not mature through age. We mature in awareness.

We are never really in control. We just think we are when things happen to be going our way.

The ultimate secret of success is this: If you tidy up in one shot, rather than little by little, you can dramatically change your mindset.

Tidying orders and relaxes the mind.

The tiniest bits of opinion sown in the minds of children in private life afterwards issue forth to the world, and become its public opinion; for nations are gathered out of nurseries.

Meditation helps concentration of the mind. Then the mind is free from thoughts and is in the meditated form.

Mind is consciousness which has put on limitations. You are originally unlimited and perfect. Later you take on limitations and become the mind.

Thanks, for a country where nobody is allowed to mind his own business. Thanks, for a nation of finks.

Mind is a wonderful force inherent in the Self.

The perfect man uses his mind as a mirror. It grasps nothing. It regrets nothing. It receives but does not keep.
