The most intimate question we can ask, and the one that has the most spiritual power, is this: What or who am I?

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.

True freedom is to be free from the desire to be free from anything.

Real meditation is not about mastering a technique; it's about letting go of control.

Feel this moment, see it with a willingness to experience it deeply, whether it be good, bad, or indifferent. Emotionally and feelingly be fully present, right here, vulnerable, with your heart. Just be present. Don't live from your conditioned mind, live from unconditional truth.

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.

Grief, unresisted, is grace. It doesn't mean it doesn't hurt anymore, it doesn't mean it doesn't rip your heart out....In great grief, there's an incredible love in it. In love there's a tinge of bitter. In true love. My teacher used to say 'all love is bittersweet'. All things experienced fully, reveal their opposite.
