Every word, every image used for God is a distortion more than a description.

The only way to change is by changing your understanding.

The Rose does not preen herself to catch my eye. She blooms because she blooms. A saint is a saint until he knows he is one.

Think of a flabby person covered with layers of fat. That is what your mind can become - flabby, covered with layers of fat till it becomes too dull and lazy to think, to observe, to explore, to discover ... not wanting to be disturbed or questioned into wakefulness.

The poor think they will be happy when they become rich. The rich think they will be happy when they are rid of their ulcers.

If you want to know what it means to be happy, look at a flower, a bird, a child; they are perfect images of the kingdom. For they live from moment to moment in the eternal now with no past and no future.

Thought can organize the world so well that you are no longer able to see it.
