“Sometimes when we don’t know the answer, it’s time to simply be with the question.”

Love is a wave flowing in the direction of bliss for all living things. It will carry you if you allow it to flow through you.

Forgiveness is the ultimate preventive medicine, as well as the greatest healer.

The goal of spiritual practice is full recovery, and the only thing you need to recover from is a fractured sense of self.

Once the light of our awareness is cast on any darkness, then it cannot hide and it cannot remain. Such is the law of consciousness.

The reason so many of us are obsessed with becoming stars is because we are not yet starring in our own lives. The cosmic spotlight isn’t pointed at you, it radiates from within you.

The choice to be used as an instrument of love, right here, right now, is a choice for personal empowerment.

Behind every dark cloud there is an every-shining sun. Just wait. In time, the cloud will pass.

Spiritual growth involves giving up the stories of your past so the universe can write a new one.

The more room you give yourself to express your true thoughts and feelings, the more room there is for your wisdom to emerge.

May we not succumb to thoughts of violence and revenge today, but rather to thoughts of mercy and compassion. We are to love our enemies that they might be returned to their right minds.

Darkness is merely the absence of light, and fear is merely the absence of love. If we want to be rid of fear, we cannot fight it but must replace it with love.

I believe that children may enter these divine portals easier, because they are seeking for answers in the purest way.

Portals of divinity are everywhere.

Some day I’m gonna call me up on the phone, so when I answer, I can tell myself to shut up.

I met a lot of the senior Taliban, and I asked them precisely [about Mullah Omar]. The most common answer was he is humble. And that was very true.

When you inquire ‘Who am I?’ if you are honest, you’ll notice that it takes you right back to silence instantly. The brain doesn’t have an answer, so all of a sudden there is silence.

Self-inquiry is a spiritually induced form of wintertime. It’s not about looking for a right answer so much as stripping away and letting you see what is not necessary, what you can do without, what you are without your leaves.
