If we want to be loved, we are looking for a support system. If we want to love, we are looking for spiritual growth.

As long as we have practiced neither concentration nor mindfulness, the ego takes itself for granted and remains its usual normal size, as big as the people around one will allow.

The heart is always the place to go. Go home into your heart, where there is warmth, appreciation, gratitude and contentment

Mindfulness is a mental activity that in due course eliminates all suffering.

To look for total satisfaction in oneself is a futile endeavor. Since everything changes from moment to moment, where can self and where can satisfaction be found? Everybody is unhappy simply because of unfilled desire. Everybody is looking for something that isn't available.

Whatever we attempt is a reflection of our inner thirst, which we hope to quench in all these external ways. What we are looking for lies within us, and if we gave out time and energy to an interior search, we would come across it much faster, since that is the only place where it is to be found.

"Wholeheartedly" means that we give our time, love, and energy unstintingly.
