Thoughts in your head are really no different than the sound of a bird outside. It is just that you decide that they are more or less relevant.

Meditation is not something restricted to times of formal seated meditation; it is most fundamentally an attitude of being-a resting in and as being. Once you get the feel of it, you will be able to tune into it more and more often during your daily life. Eventually, in the state of liberation, meditation will simply become your natural condition.

There's a fierceness about life that calls for a fierceness to not anxiously solve it but to allow it to transform you.

We think there’s someplace other than here to get to—that’s what drives the whole pursuit. Only when the pursuit ceases, is it possible to recognize what comprises you: pure being, pure consciousness. This is actually the very substance of your own self and being.

Love is a flame that burns everything other than itself. It is the destruction of all that is false and the fulfillment of all that is true.

Imagine trusting silence more than any thought you can come up with.

True meditation has no direction or goal. It is pure wordless surrender, pure silent prayer.
