You have to love with an open hand. The heart is like a bird and you have to let this bird fly freely, you cannot possess it.

After about ten years of study I ended up feeling so full and blessed that I wanted to give some of what was given to me back to humanity.

Everyone longs to be free. Freedom is our essential nature, so my ultimate prayer is that the world is set free to experience the truth and the beauty of our own being.

Know whatever comes to you unexpected to be a gift from God, which will surely serve you if you use it to the fullest. It is only that which you strive for out of your own imagination, that gives you trouble.

I ended up spending years on a spiritual quest - diving into the world's great spiritual traditions.

True courage is the willingness to fully experience whatever you are feeling at the moment. You can attempt to run from your emotions, but eventually they will catch up with you. They will chase you, haunt you, until finally you give up the chase.

No matter how deep the issue is and no matter how long you have struggled with it, the possibility exists for you to become absolutely free, whole, and healed.
