Meditation is like a gym in which you develop the powerful mental muscles of calm and insight.

How many times have you tried to solve “the problem”? you’ll be trying to solve it not just until you die but for many more lifetimes. Instead, understand that this world is just the play of the senses. It’s the five khandhas doing their thing; it has nothing to do with you. It’s just people being people, the world being the world.

When you have abandoned all past and future, it is as if you have come alive. You are here, mindful...the nature of all types of consciousness reveals itself.

Love is not liking somebody. Anyone can do that. Love is loving things that sometimes you don't like.

What are people searching for in life? God. In the christian scriptures, it says 'Be still and know you are God.' What is this? You are peace, compassion, truth, Love, freedom. Real love- the ability to love yourself so much that you forgive everything and you are at peace with yourself like a mother loves a child, not trying to be someone.

The selfless giving, the service, the kindness which you give out into this world that is the currency of (the) meaning (of life).

The secret of life is... everything is out of control.
