Silence is not the absence of sound, but the absence of self.

You are never in love with anyone. You're only in love with your prejudiced and hopeful idea of that person.

A nice definition of an awakened person: a person who no longer marches to the drums of society, a person who dances to the tune of the music that springs up from within.

Obedience keeps the rules. Love knows when to break them.

"Why is everyone here so happy except me?" "Because they have learned to see goodness and beauty everywhere," said the Master. "Why don't I see goodness and beauty everywhere?" "Because you cannot see outside of you what you fail to see inside."

You don't have to add anything in order to be happy; you've got to drop something.

Behold God beholding you...and smiling.
