Most people don't live aware lives. They live mechanical lives, mechanical thoughts - generally somebody else's - mechanical emotions, mechanical actions, mechanical reactions.
Anthony de MelloSin is a refusal to grow, a refusal to love, a refusal to get committed, to be concerned, and to take risks.
Anthony de MelloPerfect love casts out fear. Where there is love there are no demands, no expectations, no dependency. I do not demand that you make me happy; my happiness does not lie in you. If you were to leave me, I will not feel sorry for myself; I enjoy your company immensely, but I do not cling.
Anthony de MelloWhat you are aware of you are in control of; what you are not aware of is in control of you.
Anthony de Mello
