“Our whole spiritual transformation brings us to the point where we realize that in our own being, we are enough.”

In most of our human relationships, we spend much of our time reassuring one another that our costumes of identity are on straight.

Don’t think about the past. Just be here now.

What you meet in another being is the projection of your own level of evolution.

Our interactions with one another reflect a dance between love and fear.

Every religion is the product of the conceptual mind attempting to describe the mystery.

Do what you can on this plane to relieve suffering by constantly working on yourself to be an instrument for the cessation of suffering. To me, that’s what the emerging game is all about.

Your problem is you are too busy holding on to your unworthiness.

The freer I get, the higher I go. The higher I go, the more I see. The more I see, the less I know. The less I know, the more I’m free.

Emotions are like waves. Watch them disappear in the distance on the vast calm ocean.

All of a sudden the progress will stop one day, and you will find yourself, as it were, stranded. Persevere. All progress proceeds by such rise and fall. —Vivekananda

We are all affecting the world every moment, whether we mean to or not. Our actions and states of mind matter, because we are so deeply interconnected with one another.

I would like my life to be a statement of love and compassion–and where it isn’t, that’s where my work lies.

Suffering is the sandpaper of our incarnation. It does its work of shaping us.

Free yourself from the illusion of good and bad days. Labeling time makes us nostalgic of the past and demanding of the future. There is only here and now. Let it be.

Our journey is about being more deeply involved in Life and yet less attached to it.

Working on our own consciousness is the most important thing that we are doing at any moment, and being love is a supreme creative act.

We may have all come on different ships, but we’re in the same boat now.

When you are not pursuing your goal, you are literally committing spiritual suicide.

We cultivate love when we allow our most vulnerable and powerful selves to be deeply seen and known, and when we honor the spiritual connection that grows from that offering with trust, respect, kindness and affection.

The two hardest tests on the spiritual road are the patience to wait for the right moment and the courage not to be disappointed with what we encounter.

Let us be silent, that we may hear the whisper of God.

The notion that science and spirituality are somehow mutually exclusive does a disservice to both.

It is a kind of spiritual snobbery that makes people think they can be happy without money.

Attach yourself to what is spiritually superior, regardless of what other people think or do. Hold to your true aspirations no matter what is going on around you.
