When you rest in quietness and your image of yourself fades, and your image of the world fades, and your ideas of others fade, what's left? A brightness, a radiant emptiness that is simply what you are.

You will only lose when you resist reality; you will only struggle when you disagree with what is.

Enlightenment is, in the end, nothing more than the natural state of being.

Enlightenment means waking up to what you truly are and then being that.

You are the doorway to the infinite.

When someone tells you, 'I love you,' and then you feel, 'Oh, I must be worthy after all,' that's an illusion. That's not true. Or someone says, 'I hate you,' and you think, 'Oh, God, I knew it; I'm not very worthy,' that's not true either. Neither one of these thoughts hold any intrinsic reality. They are an overlay. When someone says, 'I love you,' he is telling you about himself, not you. When someone says, 'I hate you,' she is telling you about herself, not you. World views are self views-literally.

My speaking is meant to shake you awake, not to tell you how to dream better.
