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

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.

What you're getting excited about is not A face, but a feminine face.

Spiritual experiences and their results are not meant for the individual. They are for the evolution of the whole race.

We are all capable of greatness when we know without any doubt that we are directly connected to a higher purpose.

This is our challenge at the beginning of the twenty-first century - we need to find the courage to see our own spiritual yearnings in the biggest possible context, in such a way that is going to compel us to finally transcend our self-concern. We need to find the heart to come together in such a way that will enable us to face the challenges before us. And to do this, we need a new spirituality. We need a new enlightenment.

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.
