It is not the pursuit of greater and greater states of happiness and bliss that leads to enlightenment, but the yearning for Reality and the rabid dissatisfaction with living anything less than a fully authentic life.

The proof of the depth and embodiment of your realization will be seen in your love relationship. That's where the proof is in the pudding. If it all collapses in your relationship, you have some work to do. And people do have a lot of difficulties in their relationships.

The silence inside of you is the sound of your knowledge collapsing. Remember, it is you who said, 'I want to be free.'

Love moves without an agenda. It just moves because that is its nature to move.
