“If you think you’re free, there’s no escape possible.”

The quieter you become, the more you can hear.

My life is a creative act–like a painting, or a concerto.

We’re here to awaken from the illusion of separateness

If you think you are enlightened; go home for Thanksgiving.

As soon as you give it all up you can have it all

You may protest if you can love the person you are protesting against as much as you love yourself.

Who in all his works sees God, in truth he goes to God.

The heart surrenders everything to the moment. The mind judges and holds back.

By acting compassionately, by helping to restore justice and to encourage peace, we are acknowledging that we are all part of one another.

Once you have drunk from the water of unconditional love, no other well can satisfy your thirst. The pangs of separation may become so intense that seeking the affection of the Beloved becomes an obsession.

The next message you need is always right where you are.

I see my life as an unfolding set of opportunities to awaken.

I’m not interested in being a lover. I’m interested in only being love.

We’re being trained through our incarnations–trained to seek love, trained to seek light, trained to see the grace in suffering.

Our rational minds can never understand what has happened, but our hearts, if we can keep them open to God, will find their own intuitive way.

It’s very different because the Indians live as if they are their souls and Americans live as if they are their egos.
