Love is a state of Being. Your love is not outside; it is deep within you. You can never lose it, and it cannot leave you. It is not dependent on some other body, some external form.
The mind is a superb instrument if used rightly. Used wrongly, however, it becomes very destructive. To put it more accurately... you usually don't use it at all. It uses you.
You can always cope with the present moment, but you cannot cope with something that is only a mind projection - you cannot cope with the future.
Die before you die and find that there is no death.
...the relationship is here to make you conscious instead of happy.
When you are present, when your attention is fully and intensely in the Now, Being can be felt, but it can never be understood mentally.
Forgive yourself for not being at peace.
Man made God in his own image...
You believe that you are your mind. This is the delusion.
Everything is shown up by being exposed to the light, and whatever is exposed to the light itself becomes light.
You cannot be both unhappy, and fully present in the Now.
If I cannot live with myself, there must be two of me
For what you do to others, you do to yourself.
Stress is caused by being 'here' but wanting to be 'there'.
Time isn't precious at all, because it is an illusion.
Don't get stuck on the level of words. A word is no more than a means to an end. It's an abstraction. Not unlike a signpost, it points beyond itself
When you are present, you can allow the mind to be as it is without getting entangled in it.
What could be more futile, more insane, than to create inner resistance to something that already is?
◦"At the deepest level of Being, you are one with all that is
What you react to in others, you strengthen in yourself.
I cannot tell you any spiritual truth that deep within you don't know already. All I can do is remind you of what you have forgotten.
You can only lose something that you have, but you cannot lose something that you are.
The more you are focused on time-past and future-the more you miss the Now, the most precious thing there is.
You cannot find yourself by going into the past. You can find yourself by coming into the present.
I'm seduced by the arts in general. Arts is like the power of now.
Jazz music is the power of now.
