I have never experienced a stressful feeling that wasn't caused by attaching to an untrue thought. Behind every uncomfortable feeling, there's a thought that isn't true for us.

Fear is blind. There are some options in it, but they're very limited as compared to the options available to the fearless mind.

Judge your neighbor, write it down. Ask four questions, turn it around.

Suffering over things that have happened to us is nothing more than an argument with the past.

There is no thought or situation that you can't put up against inquiry. Every thought, every person, every apparent problem is here for the sake of your freedom.

Once we begin to question our thoughts, our partners-alive, dead or divorced-are always our greatest teachers. There's no mistake about the person you're with; he or she is the perfect teacher for you, whether or not the relationship works out, and once you enter inquiry, you come to see that clearly.

I love to not defend ever and to open my mind and take in what can always add to me, not take away from me.
