I'm suspicious of any man or woman who approaches their own liberation with any kind of gender bias

One of the most extraordinary things about being a spiritual teacher is the rare privilege of being able to look deeply into the very souls of many human beings at the same time.

When you meditate you discover over and over again that you are not a prisoner of your mind.

In the new enlightenment, the reason we are driven to become one with the life-process is not merely to experience some form of mystical oneness with everything. We strive to become one with it for the biggest reason there could be - so we can ultimately take responsibility for where it's going.

In my experience, men are not necessarily less sensitive or compassionate than women are, and women are not necessarily any less aggressive or competitive than men are - as a matter of fact, often they are more so!

Everybody wants to get enlightened but nobody wants to change.

If you know only one language, you're a prisoner, stuck in the tyranny of that one language.
